Lawmakers in Oklahoma do not approve initiative bills
July 14, 2010
By Kyle Maichle
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma: Lawmakers in Oklahoma ended legislative session on May 28, 2010, without passing any initiative legislation[1] [2].
During the session, only two bills dealing with the state's initative process were considered by legislators. The first bill that was considered dealt with pay-per signature[3]. Lawmakers were attempting to have the state ban initative campaigns from paying petition circulators by the signature. The bill died in committee without seeing a floor vote in the Legislature[4].
Lawmakers also considered a bill requiring voter information guides. The guide would have been required for any election with a statewide ballot measure.[5]. The bill died in committee without seeing a floor vote in the Legislature[6].
