AI Summary
This bill extends the sunset date for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority, a state agency responsible for educational television facilities, from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2031. The "sunset law" refers to legislation that automatically terminates certain government agencies or programs after a specified period unless they are reauthorized. The bill also makes minor updates to the statutory language describing the Authority's composition and operations, including clarifying the oath of office for members and the process for appointing members based on congressional districts. The legislation is declared an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval to ensure the continued operation of the Authority.
