Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-389: Notice of petition to raise taxes or assessments

A. When a petition is to be circulated in all or a portion of a

county, on a question which if approved by the voters would require

additional taxes or assessments or a continuation of taxes or

assessments, notice of circulation of the petition shall be filed

with the county clerk of the county prior to the petition being

circulated for signatures. The period of time for the gathering of

signatures shall begin on the day after such filing and shall not

exceed one (1) year, unless otherwise provided by law. The

provisions of this section shall apply to all petitions to be

circulated in all or a portion of a county, if the provisions

thereof would require additional taxes or assessments, including but

not limited to, those authorized by the following provisions of law:

1. Section 782 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes;

2. Section 872 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes;

3. Section 901.2 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes;

B. When any petition is to be circulated in all or a portion of

a county, each page of the petition shall contain a notice

prominently displayed at the top in at least twelve-point type which

reads “THIS IS A PETITION”. The first page of the petition shall

contain a summary of the contents of the petition, which shall be

made available to any person who is or may be eligible to sign the

petition.

C. If the question submitted to voters based upon an election

conducted pursuant to a circulated petition does not receive

approval, a subsequent petition regarding the same question may be

circulated beginning on the thirtieth day following the election

date at which the question did not receive approval.

D. If a petition governed by the provisions of this section is

circulated for signatures that does not result in a vote on the

question, any subsequent petition with respect to the same question

shall indicate on each page of the petition that a prior petition

with respect to the same question has previously been circulated.
