Resolution 4, introduced by Prieto, directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to Section 5 of Article II of the Oklahoma Constitution to the public for approval or rejection. The amendment seeks to modify the existing prohibition on the use of public money for sectarian or religious purposes, specifically narrowing it to prohibit only the direct financial support or benefit of religious institutions, clergy, or sectarian organizations.
The resolution includes a ballot title that outlines the essence of the proposed amendment, asking voters whether they approve of this change. If approved, the amendment would allow for indirect support of religious entities while maintaining a restriction on direct financial contributions. The resolution mandates that copies of the proposal and ballot title be filed with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General following its passage.
