STATE QUESTION 678 - LEGISLATIVE REFERENDUM 308
The proposal amends the Oklahoma Constitution. It amends Section 9C of Article 10. That Section deals with ambulance service districts. These districts are also called emergency medical service districts. These districts are created by vote of the people. Such districts can include more than one county and/or parts of counties. These districts are funded by real property tax millages. The proposed amendment allows counties or parts of counties to withdraw from an existing district. Withdrawal from a district must be approved by the voters in the county. Withdrawing entities would remain responsible for their portion of the district's existing debt. Responsibility for such debt is apportioned. Such apportionment is based on assessed real property values. SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?

This measure seeks to change Section 34 of Article 6 and Section 10 of Article 23 of the State Constitution. Corporation Commissioners and members of the Oklahoma Tax Commission serve terms which start in different years. As the law is now they may only receive an increase in pay if it becomes law before they take office. These persons may receive different pay but perform the same job. This measure will allow their pay to be raised at any time so long as their pay was equal. SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?

This measure would amend Article 10 of the State Constitution. The measure adds a new section, Section 6D, to that Article. It exempts certain personal property from ad valorem tax. It exempts all "personal property used as pollution control property." The measure does not define the term "personal property used as pollution control property." The Legislature would define that term. SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?
