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 Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority, as well as the insertion of language that clarifies the Attorney General's authority to cross-deputize municipal police officers and county sheriff's officers under interlocal governmental agreements. This aims to enhance cooperation among law enforcement agencies at various levels.
Additionally, the bill updates statutory language and emphasizes the Attorney General's role in various legal proceedings, including the prosecution of actions related to state interests and the investigation of human trafficking. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, underscoring the urgency of these changes for public safety and legal clarity.
