This bill amends Section 339 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the general powers of the board of county commissioners. A significant change allows the use of county-owned equipment, labor, and supplies on property owned by four-year institutions, in addition to existing permissions for public schools and two-year colleges. This amendment aims to facilitate cooperation between counties and higher education institutions, potentially enhancing public services and infrastructure.
The bill also includes various provisions related to the responsibilities and powers of county commissioners, such as the ability to enter into intergovernmental cooperative agreements, manage drug enforcement funds, and establish petty cash accounts for vehicle registration fees. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
