Legislative testimony; requiring administration of oath to person providing testimony before legislative committees; creating misdemeanor offense. Emergency.

SB 955 requires anyone providing testimony before specific Oklahoma legislative committees (including budget committees and policy committees) to swear an oath that their testimony is true. It creates a misdemeanor offense for knowingly making false statements, concealing material facts, or presenting false documents under this oath. This bill applies directly to witnesses testifying at committee hearings and aims to ensure the accuracy of information provided to lawmakers. The measure is procedural, focusing on testimony integrity rather than policy changes.
