Senate Democratic Leader Kirt comments on Supreme Court ruling against legislation restricting public’s initiative petition rights

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt issued the following statement Tuesday after Oklahoma’s Supreme Court ruled against Senate Bill 1027, an attempt to place multiple restrictions on the public’s ability to use initiative petitions to change state law. 

“This ruling puts power back where it belongs – with the people. Senate Democrats knew this legislation was unconstitutional and proudly fought for Oklahomans’ right to solve problems that out-of-touch politicians refuse to address." – Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt, D-Oklahoma City.
