AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "political subdivision" within Oklahoma's Governmental Tort Claims Act, which is the law that outlines when the state or its local governments can be sued for damages caused by their employees. Specifically, it adds a new category to the definition of a political subdivision to include public trusts created under a specific statute (Section 3224 of Title 63), along with any not-for-profit corporations or subsidiaries that are solely owned by such a public trust. This change aims to clarify the legal status of these entities under the Act, and the bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
