AI Summary
This bill modifies the powers and duties of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) by removing its authorization to construct toll turnpikes at several previously specified locations, while altering or adding others, and also removes a requirement that bonds issued for certain turnpike projects must be issued as a single issue. Additionally, it changes the conditions under which a turnpike project becomes part of the state highway system, requiring that all bonds and interest be paid off for ten years and that the project has had no maintenance expenses or known future needs for the same ten-year period, before it can be maintained by the state free of tolls. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
