AI Summary
This bill, concerning the State Regents (the governing board for Oklahoma's higher education system), amends existing law to provide immunity from personal liability for its members for certain actions or omissions. Specifically, members of the State Regents will not be held personally responsible for damages arising from the negligent or wrongful acts of employees within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education or from the negligent acts of other State Regents members. However, this protection does not extend to intentional wrongdoing or acts of gross negligence by the Regent themselves. The bill also updates some statutory language regarding the chairman's role and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026, declaring an emergency for immediate implementation.
