Bill > HB3416

This bill makes several changes to county purchasing procedures in Oklahoma, primarily by allowing the county purchasing agent to solicit quotes in certain situations, clarifying existing language, and repealing outdated provisions. Specifically, it amends Section 1501 to permit the county purchasing agent to solicit telephone quotes when a selected vendor cannot fulfill an order, or to select the next lowest bidder, and also allows for the purchase of fuel after obtaining quotes from at least three vendors. Additionally, it amends Section 1505, which outlines general county government operations and purchasing procedures, by removing language related to "other services" to improve clarity and avoid duplication with definitions of professional services, and also removes a reference to information technology and telecommunication goods in the disposal of equipment section. The bill also includes a provision for recodifying an existing statute and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
