Bonds; requiring transparency for obligations issued by trusts for benefit of local government; prohibiting issuance for violation of transparency requirements. Effective date.
SB 817 requires local governments and trusts issuing bonds for their benefit to publicly disclose specific details about bond projects, previous bond usage, and unfinished bonds at least 30 days before a bond vote. This applies to counties, cities, school districts, and other local entities covered under Oklahoma's bond laws. The bill mandates that this information be posted on the government's website or made accessible online, including physical addresses for property purchases. Non-compliant entities are prohibited from issuing new bonds until they meet these transparency requirements.
