The bill amends Section 5060.26 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the Oklahoma Alliance for Manufacturing Excellence (OAME). The primary changes include an increase in the number of representatives on the Board of Directors from five to nine, and the inclusion of specific state governmental representatives as ex officio members. The bill also modifies the qualifications for membership classes and the election process for board members, allowing for a more diverse representation of small and medium-sized manufacturing firms, large corporations, and state entities.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the roles of various state entities in relation to OAME and allows for the appointment of designees to serve in place of directors. It establishes that no participating state entity will pay membership dues and grants the Board of Directors the authority to set membership dues for other members. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
