This bill appropriates a total of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) to the Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The funds are designated for the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to construct a public safety complex network within a specified area, which includes municipalities located north of Interstate 40 and east of Interstate 44, with populations between thirty-five thousand (35,000) and fifty thousand (50,000) residents, as determined by the most recent Federal Decennial Census.
The bill also establishes an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency is justified by the necessity for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety.
