House Bill 1549 amends the Oklahoma Private Activity Bond Allocation Act, which governs how the state distributes its federal limit for tax-exempt bonds. The bill revises definitions related to these bonds and their allocation "pools." It specifically decreases the percentage of the state's bond limit reserved for student loan bonds while increasing the portion designated for economic development projects. The legislation also modifies the allocation periods for certain bond categories.
