An Act relating to public safety; amending 63 O.S. 2021, Section 683.24, which relates to the Emergency Management Disaster Relief Matching Fund; modifying provisions related to matching requirements with respect to federally declared disaster; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the matching requirements for the Emergency Management Disaster Relief Matching Fund, which is a special fund in Oklahoma used for disaster relief. Previously, the fund was intended to cover the state's share of matching requirements for federal funds provided under specific federal disaster relief laws. This bill adds a provision stating that for federally declared disasters, the state's matching requirement will be equally split between the State of Oklahoma and the local governments (political subdivisions) that receive assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through its Public Assistance Program. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
