The bill establishes the Oklahoma Decennial Census Accuracy Revolving Fund within the State Treasury, aimed at enhancing the accuracy of the 2030 Federal Decennial Census. This fund will be a continuous source of financing, consisting of all appropriated funds from the Legislature, and will be utilized for grassroots outreach and marketing campaigns. Expenditures from the fund will require approval from the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and will be issued by the State Treasurer. If no expenditures are authorized by July 1, 2031, any unencumbered funds will revert to the General Revenue Fund.
Additionally, the bill appropriates $500,000 from the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, to support the activities of the Oklahoma Decennial Census Accuracy Revolving Fund. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
