Bill No. 1414 amends Section 510 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the qualifications for county sheriff. The bill allows individuals with military police service to count their service towards the experience requirement needed to qualify for the position. Additionally, it mandates that candidates present proof of their police qualifications at the time of filing, and veterans must provide a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) to verify their military police experience.

The bill also clarifies the definition of "peace officer" by specifying that it includes officers who enforce laws in any U.S. state or political subdivision, rather than just military laws. Furthermore, it removes the previous requirement that peace officers enforce military laws. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
