Senate Bill No. 772 amends existing laws regarding the inventory and disposition of county property in Oklahoma. The bill mandates that the board of county commissioners in each county conduct an inventory of all county property, which now includes a broader range of items such as working tools, machinery, equipment, telecommunication goods, information technology devices, and firearms, with specific cost thresholds for inventorying these items. The cost threshold for working tools and equipment has been raised from $500 to $2,500, while certain information technology items remain at $500. The bill also requires the maintenance of continuous inventory records and outlines the process for the disposition of these items, including the need for documentation of any sales or transfers.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the sale and trade-in of county property, allowing for public auctions or sealed bids, and specifies that the board of county commissioners can enter agreements with tribal governmental entities or other counties for the disposal of equipment. It also establishes a uniform identification system for all county supplies and materials, including those not used in road and bridge construction. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
