SB 5 Oklahoma Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Libraries; city-county library commissions; modifying meeting dates. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill amends the rules for city and county library commissions in Oklahoma to clarify their meeting schedules and operational procedures. It mandates that these commissions hold at least one public meeting every month and establishes that six commissioners are required to form a quorum for conducting business. The legislation also confirms the commission's authority to set fees for services, hire external experts like legal counsel, and accept financial grants from various sources. Although the text includes an emergency clause, the primary effect is to update the statutory framework governing how these local library bodies operate and manage their affairs.
