AI Summary

This bill amends existing Oklahoma law regarding turnpikes to exempt residents of Oklahoma from paying certain tolls, defining "residents of this state" as individuals holding a valid Oklahoma driver license or permit. The bill also clarifies that law enforcement officers will continue to have free use of turnpikes for official duties. Additionally, it requires that any person leasing or acquiring control of businesses like gas stations or restaurants on turnpike property must have been a resident of or doing business in Oklahoma for the past five years. The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is authorized to establish rules to implement these changes, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause allowing it to be in force immediately upon passage and approval.
