Bill No. 990 establishes a new legal framework for the recall of statewide elected officers in Oklahoma, codified as Sections 106 and 107 of Title 51. The bill allows for the removal of these officers through a recall election initiated by the Legislature. This process requires the introduction of a joint resolution by either the President Pro Tempore of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, which must state the reasons for removal and set a specific election date. Notably, the joint resolution is exempt from regular legislative deadlines and cannot be vetoed by the Governor.

Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures for conducting the recall election, including the printing of ballots and the manner in which the election is to be held. If a statewide elected officer is removed through the recall process, a vacancy will be created, which the Governor will fill for the remainder of the term. The bill also stipulates that any contest or petition for recount related to the election will follow existing legal procedures. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
