Title 1 - EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Section 1:2024-1
Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE ORDER 2024-1
To the Honorable Members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Honorable Members of the Oklahoma State Senate:
WHEREAS, the people of the great State of Oklahoma have experienced the highest level of inflation in four decades and need relief now; and
WHEREAS, the vast majority of Oklahoma voters support cutting income taxes so they can keep more of their hard-earned money and slow the growth of government; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of the State of Oklahoma deserve to know where each elected legislator stands on giving the people of Oklahoma the tax relief they desperately need; and
WHEREAS, given historic state savings and recent historic and expected future levels of state revenues, I believe the State should seize the opportunity to allow taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money-because Oklahomans know how to spend their money better than the government.
THEREFORE, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Article VI, § 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby convoke an Extraordinary Session of the Fifty-Ninth Legislature to convene at the State Capitol on January 29, 2024. The Legislature shall only act:
1. To put up for a vote a 0.25% decrease in individual income tax rates.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to every member of the House of Representatives, every member of the State Senate, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of the Senate, and the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 16th day of January, 2024.
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
J. Kevin Stitt

Josh Cockroft
Secretary of State
