Resolution 24, introduced by Hicks, proposes an amendment to Section 3 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, which would modify the eligibility requirements for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The amendment stipulates that, in addition to being a U.S. citizen, at least 31 years old, and a qualified elector of the state for the preceding ten years, candidates for this office must also have completed specific certification requirements as mandated by state law.
The resolution directs the Secretary of State to present this proposed amendment to the public for approval or rejection, including a ballot title that summarizes the changes. The ballot will ask voters whether they support the amendment, which aims to ensure that only individuals who meet the necessary educational and certification standards can serve as Superintendent of Public Instruction in Oklahoma.
