SB 772 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Counties; modifying certain required inventory of county property. Effective date.

SB 772 modifies Oklahoma counties' requirements for tracking property inventory and disposal. It raises the threshold for mandatory inventory from $500 to $2,500 for most equipment (like tools, machinery, and road maintenance supplies), while keeping IT hardware and firearms at $500. Counties must now report disposals of items over $1,000 (down from $2,500) with detailed records, and follow updated sale procedures for items over $1,000, including public notice via newspaper or auction. These changes reduce administrative burden for lower-value items while maintaining oversight for higher-cost property, directly affecting all Oklahoma county governments.
