HB 2439 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Historical Society; the Oklahoma State Government Asset Reduction and Cost Savings Program; Long-Range Capital Planning Commission; exempting the Oklahoma Historical Society; effective date.

HB 2439 exempts the Oklahoma Historical Society from the state's property management program, removing it from requirements to report underutilized properties and seek approval for sales. Normally, state agencies must submit data on properties and get approval before selling, but this bill specifically excludes the Historical Society from these obligations. The bill also requires state agencies to notify the Historical Society and obtain its approval before selling properties it owns that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or deemed historically significant. This change directly affects the Historical Society by protecting its properties from the state's asset reduction program while maintaining safeguards for historically important sites.
