Okla. Stat. tit. 75, § 75-26.41: Submission of the question - Procedure

When a question, "Shall the Legislature of this state ratify a

proposed amendment of the Constitution of the United States," is for

legislative decision, said matter shall be introduced by joint

resolution. In each house the joint resolution submitting said

proposal shall be read in full on three (3) different days but, in

either house, the first reading may be dispensed with by two-thirds

(2/3) vote of the quorum present. Following the second reading the

joint resolution by which the proposed Constitutional amendment is

presented shall be assigned to committee. After favorable committee

report, the joint resolution by which the proposed amendment of the

United States Constitution is presented shall be placed on the

calendar for third reading and final passage. When the joint

resolution is considered on final passage, the question shall be

"Shall the proposed amendment of the United States Constitution be

ratified?", which question shall be decided by roll call vote,

opportunity being given first for debate. Unless a majority of the

members elected to and constituting the membership of the body

considering the question vote in favor of ratifying the amendment of

the Constitution, the same shall have failed. If a majority of the

members elected to and constituting the membership of the body

indicate their approval, the presiding officer shall sign the joint

resolution and direct that it be made available to the other, or

second, legislative house.

The procedure shall be the same in each legislative house except

that the presiding officer of the second house that has by vote

approved said ratification of the amendment of the United States

Constitution shall sign the joint resolution and attest to the

state's action, through its Legislature, of ratifying the said

Constitutional amendment.
