HB 2780 creates a special "Prison Acquisition Revolving Fund" in the state treasury, allowing Oklahoma's Department of Corrections (DOC) to use these funds to purchase prisons and related property from private contractors. The bill updates the DOC's authorized list of correctional facilities to include "a facility purchased pursuant to this bill," ensuring newly acquired prisons are formally recognized. It establishes the fund as a continuing account not limited by fiscal years, with expenditures requiring approval from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. The legislation became law without the governor's signature on May 29, 2025.
