Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Commission; modifying provisions related to appointment of Commission members. Effective date.

SB 859 changes how members of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) Commission are appointed and serves. It establishes a 7-member commission with specific appointment sources: one chief of police (via Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police), one sheriff (via Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association), one district attorney (via District Attorneys Council), and appointments by the Attorney General, Governor, Senate President Pro Tempore, and House Speaker. The bill sets fixed 7-year terms with staggered starting terms and requires police/sheriff members to be current officers who completed approved training. It also clarifies that appointments after redistricting must follow new district boundaries. This bill directly affects the composition and selection process of the OSBI Commission.
