Local bond elections; modifying date when certain elections may be conducted. Emergency.
This bill amends Oklahoma statutes to allow municipal and school district bond elections to be held on any November state or federal election day, regardless of whether the year is odd or even. It directly affects cities and school districts that need to hold bond elections for infrastructure or capital projects. The key change modifies existing rules (in 11 O.S. §16-112 and 70 O.S. §15-102) to remove previous restrictions on election timing, aligning bond votes with regular election cycles. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and was declared an emergency measure.
