Contestants filed original proceeding to determine legal sufficiency of initiative petition that sought to add new constitutional article creating Oklahoma Education Improvement Fund.
The Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that petition did not violate “one general subject rule” for constitutional amendments.
“One general subject rule” applicable to constitutional amendments was not violated by initiative petition that sought to add new article creating Oklahoma Education Improvement Fund. Each section of proposed article was germane to creating and implementing Fund, including creation of Fund, levying of additional sales tax, distributing monies to both higher education and common education, and providing increase in teacher salaries.
