This bill amends Section 215.5 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the responsibilities of district attorneys in providing legal advice to county officers. The amendments include making the language gender-neutral by replacing masculine pronouns with gender-neutral terms, specifically changing "his" to "his or her." Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that requires the district attorney or their assistants to represent county officials seeking a protective order against individuals violating specific statutes.

The effective date for this bill is set for November 1, 2026. The changes aim to modernize the language used in the law and ensure that county officials have access to legal representation in matters concerning protective orders, thereby enhancing the support provided by district attorneys to county officers.
