Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation; authorizing response to certain events; creating revolving fund. Effective date.
SB 37 defines a "mass casualty event" as an incident causing at least three injuries, requiring more emergency resources than usual, and creating a sudden surge of people needing emergency services. It authorizes the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) to respond to such events caused by violent crimes (as defined by Oklahoma law) without needing a request from local police, and to coordinate with local agencies. The bill creates a "Mass Casualty Revolving Fund" in the state treasury, funded by state appropriations, federal grants, or other sources, to cover OSBI's costs for investigating these events. The fund operates as a continuing account not limited by fiscal years, allowing OSBI to use it for related expenses like personnel, equipment, and coordination efforts.
