Turnpikes; removing authority to revise toll rates; requiring legislative approval for toll increases. Effective date.

SB 964 requires Oklahoma's Turnpike Authority to obtain legislative approval before raising tolls on state turnpikes. It removes the Authority's existing power to independently adjust toll rates and mandates that any increase must be approved by a joint resolution of the Oklahoma Legislature. This directly affects the Turnpike Authority's operational control over toll pricing, shifting that decision to elected lawmakers. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
