Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot title for State Question 646 was as follows:
| “ | This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution. It would add a new Section 9E to Article 10. It would allow an annual property tax levy for a county to maintain an Oklahoma cooperative extension office for field-based programs. The levy could only be made if approved by a majority of the voters of the country. The levy must be sufficient to meet the country's share of the total funding of the cooperative extension office, but could not, in any event, be more than one mill on the dollar value of property. The levy would be made annually until repealed by the voters of the county. The office would be maintained as provided by law. All tax revenues from the levy would have to be spent in the county where the levy was approved. Other public funds could also be used for the office. | ” |
