County sheriffs; prohibiting certain federal employees from taking certain actions without permission. Effective date. Emergency

SB 539 requires federal employees (not designated as Oklahoma peace officers) to obtain written permission from a county sheriff or the Attorney General before making arrests, searches, or seizures in Oklahoma counties. Exceptions include arrests on federal enclaves, immediate crime witnessing, targeting sheriff staff or officials, or when probable cause suggests the subject might evade capture. Violations trigger prosecution for offenses like trespass or kidnapping, and district attorneys must prosecute without discretion. The bill declares Oklahoma rejects federal authority over county sheriffs under the Tenth Amendment, asserting state sovereignty over local law enforcement.
