Dear Secretary Benge:

Having found that the proposed Ballot Title for the above-referenced State Question did not

comply with applicable laws we, in accordance with the provisions of 34 O.S.2011, $ 9(D), have

prepared the following Ballot Title. As a Title 34 ballot title review, the following does not

constitute an Attomey General Opinion on the merits or the constitutionality of the proposed changes

in the law, nor the ability of federal law to preempt the changes in the law. The Ballot Title reads
