BENJAMIN M. LEPAK
Oklahoma Secretary of State
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.
