Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management; providing certain authority to certified law enforcement officers. Effective date.
SB 503 clarifies that certified law enforcement officers in Oklahoma must assist the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and its emergency management directors when enforcing OEM rules, regulations, or orders. This bill amends Section 683.23 of Oklahoma Statutes to explicitly require certified officers to support OEM enforcement efforts. It does not create new penalties or authority but formally integrates law enforcement assistance into OEM's enforcement framework. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and applies statewide to all certified law enforcement officers.
