Oklahoma Constitution; freeze, suspension, or withholding of state-appropriated funds for institutions of higher education; ballot title; filing.
Second Reading referred to Rules
Summary
The joint resolution would amend the state constitution to give the Legislature authority to stop up to 100% of state‑appropriated money for any institution in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education for a maximum of two years. The freeze would require a majority vote in both the Senate and House and the governor’s approval (or a legislative override), and it would not affect federal, private, tuition or other non‑state revenue. After the set period, funding would automatically resume unless a new resolution changes it.
