Senate Bill No. 160 amends several sections of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission Act, updating statutory references and modifying membership requirements, training protocols, and the powers and duties of the Commission. Notably, the bill changes the membership structure by reducing the required years of experience for certain members from fifteen to ten years and clarifies the roles of appointed members. It also introduces a continuing education training and certification process for construction industry personnel, establishes a workforce development plan to increase the number of available code officials, and allows for the assessment of fees related to training.

Additionally, the bill outlines a system of fees for the issuance and renewal of construction permits, with specific limitations on when fees can be established or amended. It mandates that fees be reported electronically to state leadership and specifies the use of collected funds for the purposes of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission Act. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
