Resolution 1050, introduced by Harris, proposes an amendment to Section 40 of Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution regarding the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund. The amendment seeks to reduce the term limit for members of the Board of Directors from seven years to four years and grants the appointing authority the power to remove members at will. 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 resolution outlines the structure and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, which consists of seven members appointed by various state officials, and emphasizes the importance of expertise in public or private health care for appointees. Additionally, it details the purposes for which the earnings from the trust fund can be expended, focusing on health-related programs and services for children and senior adults. The proposed amendment aims to enhance the governance and effectiveness of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund by allowing for more flexible terms and oversight of board members.
