This bill amends Section 6 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes to introduce a new exemption for law enforcement officers who are elected as members of the governing board of a town, municipality, or county outside of the jurisdiction where they serve as law enforcement officers. The new legal language specifies that these officers, including campus police officers, are allowed to hold such positions without conflicting with their law enforcement duties. Additionally, the bill renumbers the existing provisions, moving the previous item 30 to item 31.

The bill also clarifies that salaries and benefits for loaned employees or officers will be paid to their regular employer, while the loaned employee will receive their regular salary and benefits as if they were still employed by their permanent employer. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
