Senate Bill No. 1189 amends the existing law regarding the School Security Revolving Fund, which is managed by the State Department of Education. The bill removes the previous expenditure limitation of $50 million per fiscal year and instead stipulates that this amount will be allocated from the fund and divided equally among all public school districts in Oklahoma for three fiscal years, starting July 1, 2026, subject to available funding. This change aims to enhance school security by ensuring a consistent and equitable distribution of resources to improve safety measures across districts.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that the funds from the School Security Revolving Fund are to be used for establishing and maintaining School Resource Officer Programs and for physical security enhancements, such as cameras, locks, and panic alert systems. The legislation also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, with an effective date set for July 1, 2026.
