This bill amends Section 1711 of Title 69 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to tolls for turnpikes. It introduces a definition for "residents of this state," specifying that it includes individuals holding a valid Oklahoma driver license or permit. The bill exempts Oklahoma residents from certain tolls, allowing them free use of turnpike projects, alongside law enforcement officers. Additionally, it grants the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority the authority to set tolls and collect revenues while ensuring that these tolls are adjusted to cover maintenance and bond obligations.

Further amendments include provisions that any person leasing or controlling gas stations or similar businesses on turnpikes must have been a resident or doing business in Oklahoma for the past five years. The bill also emphasizes that the Authority cannot discriminate in setting tolls and allows for the promulgation of necessary rules to implement these changes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency for its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
