Oklahoma Educational Television Authority; sunset; effective date.

HB 1771 re-creates the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETV) to operate until July 1, 2026, under the Oklahoma Sunset Law. It specifies that the Authority’s 13-member board must include university presidents, education professionals, and members representing each congressional district (with additional members appointed statewide). The bill details board composition, terms (seven years for appointed members), and operational rules, including that members serve without pay but receive travel reimbursement. The Authority will continue its role as a state agency managing educational television services, with the bill taking effect November 1, 2025.
