Bill > SB1153

This bill mandates specific allocations from funds previously appropriated to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry through Enrolled House Bill No. 2766. Specifically, the bill directs $1 million to the Oklahoma State University Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center for operational expenses, $5.2 million to extension offices affiliated with the Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service, $1.3 million to research centers affiliated with Oklahoma State University Agriculture Experiment Stations, and $5.5 million to cooperative extension and agriculture research programs affiliated with Langston University. The bill is designed to provide targeted funding to support agricultural education, research, and extension services at two Oklahoma universities. The legislation is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause, which means it can take effect immediately upon passage and approval, allowing for prompt implementation of the specified funding allocations.
