AI Summary
This bill mandates that excise board members in each county are responsible for setting the salaries of elected county officials, ensuring that the basic salary for sheriffs and county commissioners is no less than that of other elected county officials, and establishing a minimum basic salary of $60,000 for all elected county officials. It also directs the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to use County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CIRB) funds to cover any portion of these minimum salaries that a county cannot afford. Furthermore, excise board members are prohibited from reducing the salary of any elected official who was already in office before this bill becomes law, and it repeals a previous law that outlined a formula for elected county official salaries, with the new provisions taking effect on November 1, 2026.
