Bill Summary
An Act relating to travel allowance for county officers; amending 19 O.S. 2021, Section 165, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 229, O.S.L. 2024 (19 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 165), which relates to travel allowances in lieu of traveling expenses; making travel allowance for certain officers mandatory; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that certain county officers, specifically county commissioners and sheriffs, must receive a monthly travel allowance of up to $1,000, while county assessors are to receive up to $900, and county clerks, court clerks, and county treasurers are to receive up to $800. This replaces the previous system where these allowances were optional ("may receive") and instead makes them mandatory ("shall receive"). The bill also includes provisions for an annual two percent increase in these travel allowances starting in Fiscal Year 2028, reimbursement for approved training for newly elected officials before they take office, and clarifies that these provisions do not prohibit the emergency use of county-owned vehicles or equipment for county business, nor the use of county-owned or leased equipment (excluding automobiles and pick-up trucks) by county commissioners for county business. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
