The bill amends Section 3311 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, focusing on the qualifications and responsibilities of the Executive Director of the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET). It specifies that the Executive Director must be a professional law enforcement officer with at least ten years of supervisory experience or five years of experience combined with a relevant degree. The bill also outlines the Executive Director's role in overseeing the Council's operations and ensuring compliance with legal standards, while emphasizing the importance of professional training and continuing education for law enforcement officers in Oklahoma.

Additionally, the bill introduces the Spring Creek Watershed Study Act, which mandates the Oklahoma Conservation Commission to conduct a water quality study of the Spring Creek Watershed. This study aims to identify methods for protecting aquatic habitats and will involve the establishment of an advisory group composed of local stakeholders and a technical advisory group from various agencies. The bill also creates the Spring Creek Watershed Study Revolving Fund to support the Commission's efforts, with funds sourced from legislative appropriations and private contributions. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
