Bill > SB170

This bill modifies the duties of the Oklahoma Attorney General by making a specific change to the requirement of depositing monies received by the office. Currently, the law requires the Attorney General to pay all monies received by the office into the State Treasury immediately upon receipt. The bill creates an exception for monies received on behalf of the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority (OMPA), which would not be subject to the immediate deposit requirement. This adjustment appears to provide more flexibility in handling funds specifically related to OMPA. The bill also includes a standard emergency clause, which means the legislation will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, allowing for immediate implementation of the statutory change. The modification is relatively narrow in scope, focusing on a specific administrative procedure for handling monetary receipts, and does not substantially alter the broader responsibilities of the Attorney General's office, which include representing the state in legal proceedings, providing legal opinions, prosecuting certain cases, and performing various other statutory duties.
