It requires the Department to maintain separate accounting, submit quarterly financial reports to the Governor and legislature, and comply with federal audit standards.

SB 1434: Construction zones; requiring the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Transportation to place certain devices and signage. Effective date.

SB 1434 requires Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety and Department of Transportation to install automated speed enforcement devices at construction zone entrances, with a warning sign placed 100 feet before each device. These devices only capture images of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 10+ mph in work zones, and must delete unused images within 15 minutes or used images within 24 hours of citation resolution. The bill prohibits retaining, selling, or transferring captured images, mandates device calibration after every move (with public records), and requires biannual independent audits to ensure compliance, with vendors fined $1,000 per improperly retained image. This directly affects drivers in construction zones by regulating how speed enforcement is conducted and handled.

It directly affects all municipalities in Oklahoma by banning a specific zoning mechanism known as "conditional reversion."

SB 2109 requires charitable organizations in Oklahoma that engage in lobbying or public policy advocacy to disclose contributions of $10,000 or more received in a year from "foreign principals" (including foreign governments, entities, or non-U.S. individuals). These organizations must report the foreign source's name, country, contribution amounts/dates, any conditions, and intended use of funds, filing annually by January 31 or within 30 days for single large contributions.

SB 2108: Feral swine; authorizing and prohibiting certain acts related to nuisance control. Effective date.

SB 2108 amends Oklahoma law to regulate feral swine control, directly affecting landowners, hunters, and wildlife managers. It requires landowner permission to remove feral swine on private property and prohibits transporting, importing, or intentionally releasing live swine (with exemptions for scientific research and "Judas pig" tagging systems, where radio-collared swine are released within 24 hours for population control). Violations carry misdemeanor penalties ($500-$1,000 fine or up to 6 months jail) for first offenses, escalating to felony charges ($2,000-$5,000 fine or up to 1 year in prison) for repeat offenses or releasing 10+ swine. The bill also repeals a previous permit requirement for private property owners and updates wildlife control statutes to remove firearm restrictions for nuisance control.
