AI Summary

This bill amends Oklahoma law to require the Attorney General to monitor and evaluate any action by the federal government, including executive orders, federal agency rules, or acts of Congress, to determine if such actions violate the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The bill establishes a State Reserved Powers Protection Unit within the Attorney General's office to carry out this review. If the Unit determines that a federal action infringes on state authority, the Attorney General must decide whether the state should seek an exemption or challenge the action as unconstitutional. The bill also allows the state legislature to initiate such a legal challenge if the Attorney General declines to do so. Additionally, the bill prohibits the state, counties, or other public entities from implementing any federal action declared unconstitutional by a court, including in areas like public health, natural resources, agriculture, firearms, and education.
