This bill amends Section 63 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the powers and duties of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). The key change in the bill is the inclusion of the responsibility for maintaining "monuments" on state property, in addition to the existing duties related to the construction, repair, maintenance, insurance, and operation of state-owned buildings. This amendment clarifies that OMES will oversee both buildings and monuments, ensuring their upkeep and management.

The bill also reaffirms the existing responsibilities of OMES regarding state property, including the procurement of insurance and the allocation of property use among state offices. It explicitly states that OMES does not have authority over properties managed by the University Hospitals Authority or the State Legislature, maintaining the separation of responsibilities. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
