County sheriffs; amending duties of county sheriff. Effective date.

SB 738 amends Oklahoma law to clarify county sheriffs' duties, directly affecting sheriffs, deputies, and courthouse security operations statewide. The bill adds that sheriffs must "protect the people of their county from infringements of rights guaranteed by the Oklahoma and U.S. Constitutions" and specifically prohibits federal agents from violating county residents' rights. It also requires sheriffs to coordinate courthouse security as a new duty. The changes take effect November 1, 2025.
