This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 809 of Title 47, which mandates that any grants or scholarships provided to assist with the costs of commercial driver training courses must be distributed proportionally among all qualifying schools, both public and private. The distribution will be based on the percentage of openings each school offers compared to the total prospective student population for such courses in the state, ensuring that no school is given preference over another.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause, indicating that it is necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety, allowing it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval.
