This bill amends Section 759 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence. The primary change is the extension of the Board's sunset date from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. The bill maintains the structure and responsibilities of the Board, which includes overseeing the testing and analysis of alcohol and drug influence, as well as establishing standards and qualifications for individuals administering such tests. The Board is also authorized to create a revolving fund for its operations, which will not be subject to fiscal year limitations.
In addition to extending the sunset date, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the importance of the Board's continued operation in ensuring public safety regarding alcohol and drug influence testing. The provisions for the Board's composition, responsibilities, and funding mechanisms remain intact, ensuring that it can effectively carry out its duties in the upcoming year.
