New Oklahoma Constitution Debate Draws Lines
Proposals to call a constitutional convention or to amend the Oklahoma constitution draw limited support. A large majority remain indifferent, with past defeats on convention bids in 1926 and 1950. Legislation questions favor piecemeal amendments, with reformers and some legislators pushing for change while many distrust broad overhaul. A 12 member committee studies whether to pursue articles or a full convention, with two amendments already advancing in the Senate.
