Turnpikes; prohibiting turnpike projects, routes, and extensions under certain circumstances; requiring certain election be held in certain area. Effective date.

SB 560 requires a special election of property owners within one mile of a proposed turnpike route before any new turnpike project, route, or extension can be authorized by the Oklahoma Legislature. Landowners in this zone must vote by majority to approve the project, with elections organized by county election boards and proper notice published weekly for three weeks. The bill mandates specific proof of property ownership (like deeds or divorce decrees) for voting, and states that if no vote occurs within four years, a new election is required. This directly affects landowners near proposed turnpike corridors and changes how turnpike projects gain legislative approval in Oklahoma.
