AI Summary
This bill requires all Oklahoma state legislators to undergo four hours of mandatory ethics training every two years, administered by the Ethics Commission and focusing on the commission's rules. Each legislator must sign a form issued by the Ethics Commission confirming they have completed the training, which they must then submit to their respective chamber's leadership: senators will report to the Senate President Pro Tempore, and representatives will report to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The leadership of each chamber will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with this training requirement. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2025, and is not intended to be codified into permanent state statutes. By mandating regular ethics training, the bill aims to ensure that legislators remain informed about ethical standards and guidelines in their official roles.
