The bill amends the Oklahoma Floodplain Management Act, specifically 82 O.S. 2021, Section 1605, to allow for compensation and reimbursement of expenses for members of county and municipal floodplain boards. Previously, members were required to serve without compensation; however, the new language permits them to receive compensation not exceeding $125 per meeting, as established by the respective governing bodies. Additionally, members may be reimbursed for expenses incurred while performing their duties in accordance with the State Travel Reimbursement Act.

The bill also clarifies the composition and appointment terms for floodplain boards at both the county and municipal levels, ensuring that existing boards remain intact while setting specific term lengths for new appointments. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
