This measure amends the State Constitution. It amends Section 23 of Article 10. The measure deals with the
Constitutional Reserve Fund also known as the Rainy Day Fund. The measure allows money to be spent
from the Rainy Day Fund. The purpose of the authorized spending is to retain employment for state residents
by helping at-risk manufacturers. Payments from the Fund would be used to encourage such manufacturers
to make investments in Oklahoma. All such payments from the Fund must be unanimously approved by three
State officers. Those officers are the Governor and the head of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Those officers could only approve payments recommended by an independent committee. Such spending
is allowed in years when there is Eighty Million Dollars or more in the Fund and other conditions are met.
Such spending is limited to Ten Million Dollars a year. The help given to a manufacturer is limited to ten
percent of its in-State capital investments. The Legislature could make laws to carry out the amendment.
