Resolution No. 6 proposes a significant amendment to Article VII-B of the Oklahoma Constitution concerning the selection and tenure of judicial officers, specifically Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and Court of Civil Appeals. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to present this amendment to the public for approval or rejection. Key changes include the repeal of Section 3, which established the Judicial Nominating Commission, and the introduction of a new process for judicial appointments. Under the proposed amendment, the Governor will nominate judicial officers, who must then be confirmed by the Senate, aligning the process more closely with federal standards.

Additionally, the resolution outlines provisions for judicial retention elections, ensuring that judicial officers can seek retention in office at the end of their terms. It stipulates that these officers will serve during good behavior and that their compensation cannot be diminished while in office. The ballot title for this proposed amendment will inform voters of the changes, emphasizing the shift in the appointment process and the repeal of the Judicial Nominating Commission. The resolution aims to modernize the judicial selection process in Oklahoma and enhance accountability through Senate confirmation.
