RUNOFF ELECTION AUGUST 25, 2026, BALLOT TITLE
State Question 844, Legislative Referendum 378
This measure amends article 10, section 6B of the Oklahoma
Constitution. Section 6B incentivizes manufacturers to locate, expand,
or acquire manufacturing facilities in Oklahoma through an ad valorem
taxation exemption for five (5) years. Currently, the State must reimburse
common schools, county governments, cities and towns, emergency
medical services districts, vocational technical schools, junior colleges,
county health departments and libraries for revenues lost as a result of
each exemption provided. This measure authorizes the Legislature to
enact laws establishing the levels and methodologies of reimbursement
for the previously mentioned local governmental entities resulting from
the manufacturing exemption. The laws are meant to ensure that no
individual county receives reimbursement in an amount detrimental to
other Oklahoma counties. The levels and methodologies will replace
the current statutory framework for reimbursement. For the purpose
of calculating the limit on indebtedness for political subdivisions, the
measure requires such amount be equal to the amount of reimbursement
applicable to such property under laws enacted by the Legislature. This
measure will have a fiscal impact on the state that will depend on the
application of the levels and methodologies adopted by the Legislature.
