Bill Summary
An Act relating to state government; amending 74 O.S. 2021, Section 18c, as amended by Section 5, Chapter 199, O.S.L. 2025 (74 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 18c), which relates to the employment of attorneys by certain officers, boards, or commissions; adding the State Board of Career and Technology Education to certain exception; updating statutory language; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing state law to allow the State Board of Career and Technology Education to employ its own attorneys, which was previously restricted for most state boards and commissions who were required to use the Attorney General's office for legal advice and representation. The bill clarifies that this exception is being added to a list of other state entities that already have this authority, and it will take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause to allow it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval.
