Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs v. Smalley

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that the gist of Initiative Petition 419, State Question 802, was sufficient and not misleading in describing a proposed Medicaid expansion using a 133% federal poverty-level threshold. The Court also denied the remaining constitutional challenges to the initiative petition.

Holdings

1. The gist's use of 133% of the federal poverty level was not misleading, and the gist was sufficient.
2. The remaining constitutional challenges to Initiative Petition 419, State Question 802, were meritless and were denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the gist of Initiative Petition 419 was misleading or insufficient because it stated that Medicaid eligibility would extend to adults whose income did not exceed 133% of the federal poverty level.
2. Whether the remaining constitutional challenges to Initiative Petition 419, State Question 802, had merit.
