OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma City attorney filed an initiative petition on Thursday that seeks to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to impose term limits on some statewide elected officials.

James Dunn, chairman of the “Yes on Term Limits” organization, proposes a limit of two four-year terms for the offices of lieutenant governor, auditor and inspector, attorney general, treasurer, labor commissioner and superintendent of public instruction.

The group will have 90 days to collect 138,970 valid signatures on initiative petitions, representing 15 percent of the total votes cast for governor in the last general election in 2006.
The secretary of state’s office designated the plan as Initiative Petition 736 and proposed State Question 386.
