The bill amends Section 1705 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the powers and duties of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. Key changes include extending the Authority's jurisdiction to enforce privileges and duties in a court of competent jurisdiction and specifying its ability to construct and operate toll turnpikes at various locations, including new routes and tollgates. The bill introduces provisions for constructing a new bridge over the Arkansas River and a full access interchange on the Indian Nation Turnpike, while also clarifying the Authority's capacity to enter contracts, issue revenue bonds, and accept federal grants for turnpike projects.

Additionally, the bill outlines regulations for the contracting process for turnpike construction, mandating that projects advertised for bids not exceed eight miles unless they are surface-treatment-only projects exceeding twenty miles. It requires that construction work be divided into separate contracts based on the type of work and stipulates that 90% of labor must be sourced from Oklahoma residents. The bill also prohibits Authority members and employees from engaging in profit-driven business transactions with the Authority, classifying violations as felonies. It allows for contracts with the federal government during national emergencies and mandates public access to Authority meetings, with exceptions for personnel or litigation discussions. An emergency clause is included for immediate enactment upon passage and approval.
