House Bill No. 2083 amends Section 6 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes to update exemptions related to dual office-holding. The bill introduces a new exemption for campus police officers, allowing them to serve as elected members of the governing board of a town or municipality outside of the jurisdiction where they serve as campus police officers. Additionally, the bill updates statutory language and references, including changing "the State of Oklahoma" to "this state" and renumbering the existing provisions accordingly.
The bill also clarifies that salaries and benefits for loaned employees or officers will be paid by their regular employer, while ensuring that those excepted from dual office-holding restrictions, such as military judges, are entitled to military judicial leave. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives on May 15, 2025.
