HB 2783 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust; Board of Directors; providing appointees serve at the pleasure of their appointing authority.

HB 2783 changes how members of Oklahoma's Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Board serve by replacing fixed terms with "at the pleasure" of their appointing authorities. This means board members can be removed by their appointing authority at any time, rather than serving a set term. The bill does not alter the board's duties, travel expense reimbursement (covered under existing state law), or the requirement for staggered terms. It directly affects the trust's governing board members who manage tobacco settlement funds.
