AI Summary
This bill requires public airports in Oklahoma that own, operate, or lease parking facilities to provide free parking for vehicles driven or occupied by veterans who have been honorably discharged from active service in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces or Oklahoma National Guard and have been certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or Armed Forces as having a 100% disability. A "public airport" is defined as an airport open to use by all persons without prior permission and without restrictions based on facility capacity. To receive the free parking benefit, veterans must present documentation certifying their disability status to the airport. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause suggesting its immediate importance for public welfare. This legislation aims to provide a tangible benefit to disabled veterans by reducing their parking expenses at public airports in the state.
