Bill > SB2161

This bill modifies the definition of a "meeting" under the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, which requires public bodies to conduct their business openly. Specifically, it clarifies that any task force, working group, advisory group, study group, committee, subcommittee, or similar group created by a public body to discuss and make recommendations, regardless of how many members are present, will now be considered a meeting of that public body. This change aims to ensure greater transparency in the deliberative processes that inform decisions made by public entities. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
