Senate Bill No. 405 amends Section 339 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the general powers of county commissioners. The bill introduces new provisions that authorize county commissioners to collaborate with ambulance service districts to minimize costs and enhance service delivery. Additionally, it updates the language regarding the acceptance of rights-of-way, changing the term from "right-of-way" to "rights-of-way." The bill also revises the name of a program from the "Prescription Drug Discount Program" to the "Live Healthy Prescription, Health and Dental Discount Program."

Furthermore, the bill includes several other provisions that expand the responsibilities and powers of county commissioners, such as the ability to enter into intergovernmental cooperative agreements with local governmental units and federally recognized Indian tribes. It also allows for the expenditure of federal funds received through the CARES Act or similar relief funds without being subject to certain state statutory requirements. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
