HB 1464 requires newly elected or appointed city or town officials in Oklahoma to complete 8 hours of mandatory training within one year of taking office. The training, covering topics like municipal budgets, ethics, open meetings, and election procedures, must be provided by a designated statewide organization with at least 15 years of experience supporting local governments. Officials who fail to complete the training lose their position starting at the next governing body meeting after their first anniversary in office. The bill establishes a specific process for training delivery, certification, and compliance, effective November 1, 2025.
