Bill > SB901

This bill amends an existing Oklahoma statute related to the Risk Management Program administered by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). The bill updates language regarding insurance coverage for fire departments, fire protection districts, and related services, making minor grammatical changes such as correcting "fire fighting" to "firefighting". The most significant addition is a new provision (subsection L) that explicitly prohibits OMES from promoting or marketing insurance products other than those specifically outlined in the Risk Management Program. The bill maintains the existing framework where the Risk Management Administrator can provide insurance coverage for vehicles, buildings, and liability protection for board members, officials, employees, and volunteers in fire-related services, with coverage limited to the assets available in the shared risk pool. The legislation will become effective on November 1, 2025, and aims to clarify and restrict the scope of insurance services that OMES can offer, ensuring that they remain focused on the specific risk management needs of fire-related entities.
