This bill amends various sections of Oklahoma law regarding the timing and procedures for special elections related to initiatives and referendums. Specifically, it modifies 26 O.S. 2021, Section 12-116 to establish that special statewide elections must occur no fewer than seventy days and no more than two hundred fifty days after being called. Additionally, it amends 34 O.S. 2021, Sections 12 and 25 to specify that the Governor must issue a proclamation for a vote on an initiative or referendum within the same time frame, allowing for the election to coincide with primary or general elections or to be set on a different date.

The bill also includes provisions to make the language gender-neutral, replacing terms like "his" with "his or her." Furthermore, it declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. These changes aim to clarify the election timeline and ensure that the processes for submitting measures to voters are consistent and transparent.
