The bill establishes the Oklahoma Fusion Center as a separate agency from the Department of Public Safety, effective November 1, 2025. It mandates the transfer of all assets, personnel, and financial obligations from the Oklahoma Counter Terrorism Intelligence Center to the new agency, while ensuring that current employees retain their positions and benefits. The bill also allows the Oklahoma Fusion Center to contract with the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for administrative support and outlines the process for the abolition of the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Center once the transfer is complete.
Additionally, the bill creates the Oklahoma Fusion Center Commission, which will serve as an advisory body to the Executive Director of the Fusion Center. The Commission will consist of twelve members, including representatives from various law enforcement and tribal entities, and will be responsible for establishing policies, appointing the Executive Director, and managing the agency's budget. The bill also outlines the qualifications for the Executive Director, the creation of the Oklahoma Fusion Center Revolving Fund for its operations, and mandates compliance with open meeting and records laws.
