State Capitol building; modernizing provisions relating to State Capitol Building, Capitol Grounds, and Governor's Mansion maintenance. Emergency.
SB 171 requires Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety to create and update a security plan for the State Capitol Building and grounds every three years, to be submitted to the State Capitol Preservation Commission. It restructures oversight by disestablishing the Capitol Improvement Authority and modifying the Capitol Preservation Commission's duties, membership, and approval process for all Capitol renovation proposals. The bill also establishes a new legislative liaison position to coordinate Capitol projects and sets a $120 million funding cap for Capitol Building renovations, exempting certain maintenance projects from competitive bidding requirements. These changes directly affect Capitol staff, preservation oversight bodies, and contractors working on Capitol maintenance and security.
