On February 20, the Oklahoma House Rules Committee passed HJR 1054, which would require initiatives to meet the petition requirement in every county. The bill is sponsored by Representative David Hardin (R-Stilwell). If the bill passes, then the voters would vote on the idea. Thanks to Richard Prawdienzki for this news.

WHAT YEAR IN WHAT CENTURY IS IT ???
Oklahoma HJR 1054
The bill does not change the 90 day period to obtain petition signatures.
“Section 2. The first power reserved by the people is the
initiative, and eight per centum percent (8%) of the legal voters of
each county of this state shall have the right to propose any
legislative measure, and fifteen per centum percent (15%) of the
legal voters of each county of this state shall have the right to
propose amendments to the Constitution by petition, and every such
petition shall include the full text of the measure so proposed.

Interesting:
OK HJR 1054 would support county sovereignty by making sure each and every county shows support for an initiative before it can get on the state ballot. But the petition requirement sounds super tough if only 90 days are allowed for collecting 184,000 (more like 200,000+) signatures.
OK HB 3516 would oppose county sovereignty by preventing them from using ranked-choice voting. The two bills have different sponsors of the same party.
