Commissioners of the Land Office Modernization Act; clarifying conformance with the Administrative Procedures Act; requiring notice of certain publication. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill updates the rules for the Oklahoma Commissioners of the Land Office regarding how they create and enforce regulations. It requires the agency to hold public hearings and mail direct notice to current land and mineral lessees at least 30 days before adopting any new rules. Additionally, the bill mandates that any official interpretations of these rules must be published and directly notified to affected lessees to be considered binding. These changes aim to increase transparency and ensure that people leasing state land are informed before rules affecting them are finalized.
