Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department Revolving Fund; modifying designation of funds from monies derived from real property sales. Effective date.
SB 248 modifies how funds from real property sales (like state park land) are used for Oklahoma's tourism department. It clarifies that money from these sales must fund state park maintenance and capital projects, explicitly prohibiting use for employee salaries. The bill updates the statutory language for the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department Revolving Fund and sets an effective date of November 1, 2025. This change directly affects the department's budget management for state parks. The bill does not create new funding but refines existing fund usage rules.
