Bill Summary
An Act relating to county libraries; authorizing certain counties to reduce millage rate of special levy; prescribing information requirements for resolution to reduce levy; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill allows counties in Oklahoma to decrease the millage levy, which is a tax rate, specifically for libraries funded by a special voter-approved levy. The board of county commissioners can pass a resolution to reduce this tax rate, but it cannot go below one mill, which is the minimum required by the Oklahoma Constitution. To make this reduction, the resolution must state the current and proposed tax rates, confirm that the reduced rate will still provide enough funding for the library, declare that the reduction benefits the taxpayers, and specify the tax year when the reduction will take effect. This change is intended to provide flexibility to counties in managing library funding in a way that is considered beneficial to taxpayers and will become effective on November 1, 2026.
