Bill > HB2744

This bill reappropriates $20 million that was originally allocated in a previous legislative session to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce from the Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund. The funds are specifically designated for constructing facility upgrades at a central Oklahoma state fairground, including improvements to arena connectors, electrical infrastructure, and facilities related to livestock events. The bill continues the original funding purpose and allows for any remaining unspent funds to be used, with the total amount adjusted based on any expenditures already made. An emergency clause is included, which means the act will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgent nature of the appropriation. The bill does not modify existing statutes but instead creates a new, non-codified section of law to authorize the continued funding for these fairground facility improvements.
