Construction Industries Board; modifying eligibility of certain educational institutions to enter into certain contracts. Effective date.

SB 664 allows Oklahoma's Construction Industries Board to contract with accredited vocational and technical schools (including those receiving state funding) to develop trade-specific coursework and workforce development programs for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and roofing careers. It creates a new "Skilled Trade Education and Workforce Development Fund" funded by transferring fines collected from licensing violations in these trades. The fund will pay for developing curriculum materials, equipment, and outreach programs to promote these skilled trades, with contracts requiring detailed reporting on outcomes. This directly affects vocational schools offering relevant programs and aims to strengthen workforce pipelines for these specific construction trades.
