Counties and county officers; disallowing use of cash for certain purposes; requiring certain use of certified funds. Effective date.

SB 1197 requires counties to accept only cash or certified funds (not just cash) for tax-delinquent property resale auctions, affecting county treasurers and property owners. It defines "nuisance property" (e.g., properties with liens exceeding fair market value or environmental issues) and gives counties discretion not to bid on such properties unless municipalities demand it. The bill mandates counties to share resale property lists with the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), allowing OHCA to release liens on blighted properties upon county request. These changes apply to county tax resale auctions under Oklahoma Statutes §3129, impacting how properties are sold and liens handled.
