Senate Bill No. 466 amends the salary structure for county officers in Oklahoma. The bill establishes a new salary cap, increasing the maximum allowable salary from Forty-nine Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($49,500.00) to Seventy-four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($74,500.00) per annum. Additionally, it specifies that the basic salaries for county officers shall not be less than Nineteen Thousand Dollars ($19,000.00) per annum, while the sheriff's salary must be at least Forty-four Thousand Dollars ($44,000.00) and can also reach the new cap of Seventy-four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($74,500.00).

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the county budget board, rather than the members of the county, will set the salaries for all elected county officials within the established limits. It also updates the language regarding the payment of salaries, stating that they shall be paid either monthly or bi-monthly as ordered by the board of county commissioners. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
