Resolution 1059, introduced by Osburn, directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to Section 1 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to the public for approval or rejection. The amendment aims to establish that the offices of State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commissioner of Labor, and Commissioner of Insurance will be non-partisan positions, elected through non-partisan elections. Additionally, it stipulates that the Secretary of State will be appointed by the Governor with Senate consent for a four-year term, aligning with the Governor's term.
The resolution includes a ballot title that summarizes the proposed changes, asking voters whether they approve of the amendment to make certain state offices non-partisan. If approved, this measure would alter the election process for these positions, ensuring they are not affiliated with any political party. The resolution mandates that copies of the act and the ballot title be filed with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General following its passage.
