This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 3419.1 of Title 70, which prohibits any entity or division under the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, including the Oklahoma Agricultural Extension Division, from requiring local revenues to be centralized or redirected as a condition for receiving services or access to programming. The bill explicitly states that funding generated at the local level cannot be centralized at the division or station, nor can it be directed or expended outside the county where it was generated.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, indicating that it is necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety, and thus will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the importance of maintaining local control over agricultural funding and resources in Oklahoma.
