Bill > SB576

This bill amends the Oklahoma State University Medical Authority Act to allow the Oklahoma State University Medical Authority and the Oklahoma State University Medical Trust to conduct virtual meetings under specific conditions. The bill permits these entities to hold videoconference meetings where all members are visually and audibly present through video monitors, with the requirement that each meeting be recorded, publicly noticed with detailed location information, and include a clear agenda specifying which members will participate remotely and which will be physically present. The bill also makes minor technical updates to the statutory language, such as changing certain terminology (e.g., replacing "Chief Executive Officer" with "Administrator") and standardizing references to the state. Additionally, the bill requires that virtual meetings comply with existing open meeting regulations, ensuring transparency and public access. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for these organizations in conducting their meetings while maintaining accountability and public oversight. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, giving the organizations time to prepare for and implement these new meeting procedures.
