AI Summary

This bill establishes new regulations for how Oklahoma's election officials can handle federal election guidance and funding. The legislation requires that any new official directive or guidance from federal agencies related to election administration or voter registration must first receive approval from the state legislature, or in cases when the legislature is not in session, from the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Election officials must provide written notice within ten business days to key state leaders (including the Governor, House Speaker, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Attorney General) about any new federal election directives, guidance, or potential litigation from federal agencies. The bill also mandates that new federal election funds cannot be accepted or used without prior legislative approval, with some exceptions like Help America Vote Act funding. Additionally, the State Election Board must publish an annual report detailing the balance and sources of federal funds by January 15th each year. The bill amends existing law to explicitly include State Election Board members in provisions about failing to perform lawful duties, which could result in misdemeanor charges. These provisions aim to increase legislative oversight of election administration and federal intervention in state election processes, with the act set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
