Resolution 1067 proposes an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution regarding Medicaid expansion. It directs the Secretary of State to present this amendment to the public for approval or rejection. The amendment stipulates that the State of Oklahoma will provide medical assistance to Low Income Adults under its Medicaid program, but it also includes a provision that allows the Oklahoma Legislature to opt out of covering Medicaid expansion if federal financial participation falls below a 90% matching rate.
The resolution outlines the ballot title for the proposed amendment, which will inform voters that the measure seeks to amend Section 2 of Article 25A of the Oklahoma Constitution. The ballot will ask voters whether they approve of the proposal, which would enable the state to decline additional costs associated with Medicaid expansion if federal funding decreases. Following the resolution's passage, the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives is tasked with filing copies of the resolution and ballot title with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
