HB 3097 requires Oklahoma state agencies to submit detailed budgets by June 1 each year, including funding breakdowns by quarter, organizational charts, and mission statements. Crucially, agency directors must certify in writing that their agency has not implemented policies restricting legislative access to agency records - such as requiring nondisclosure agreements or limiting where records can be reviewed. This bill directly affects all state agencies and their directors by mandating transparency in budget submissions and ensuring legislators can access records without undue barriers. The certification requirement specifically targets policies that could hinder legislative oversight of agency operations.
