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

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that allows county commissioners to enter into intergovernmental cooperative agreements with local governmental units for shared services. It also establishes a framework for the expenditure of federal funds received through the CARES Act or similar relief funds, ensuring that such expenditures are not considered supplemental appropriations and are exempt from certain budgetary requirements. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
