Bill No. 672 amends sections of the Oklahoma Emergency Management Act to clarify the powers of the Governor during emergencies, specifically regarding the closure of businesses. The bill prohibits the Governor from closing any business without documented scientific evidence that the business contributes to the spread of disease during a pandemic. Additionally, it mandates that businesses deemed nonessential must receive notice and a hearing before any closure order is issued. The bill also updates statutory references and includes definitions related to emergency management.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the Governor's authority to manage emergency situations, including the activation of the Emergency Operations Plan and the allocation of resources. It specifies that the definition of resources includes all economic resources within the state and clarifies that economic stabilization excludes the determination of essential or nonessential private businesses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency declaration is included to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage.
