The bill amends Section 18b of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the duties of the Attorney General. Key modifications include the requirement for the Attorney General to pay into the State Treasury all monies received on behalf of the state, with the exception of those received on behalf of the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority. Additionally, the bill updates statutory language to clarify the Attorney General's authority to cross-deputize municipal police officers and county sheriff's deputies, enhancing cooperation among law enforcement agencies.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes the Attorney General's role in maintaining data related to human trafficking and assisting various agencies in supporting victims. It also clarifies that the Attorney General is not obligated to represent certain state entities, such as the Oklahoma Tax Commission or the Board of Managers of the State Insurance Fund, in court proceedings. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
