Ethics Commission; creating the Ethics Commission Electronic Filing System Replacement Fund. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill creates a dedicated revolving fund within the State Treasury to support the Oklahoma Ethics Commission's electronic filing system. The fund will be financed by legislative appropriations specifically designated for replacing the commission's current system and will allow the Ethics Commission to budget and spend these monies without fiscal year restrictions. Money from the fund will be disbursed through standard state warrants issued by the State Treasurer after approval by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. The legislation takes effect immediately upon approval, with an emergency clause declaring it necessary for public safety.
