Waters and water rights; modifying list of records to be entered; requiring board maintain records in accordance with the Oklahoma Open Records Act; effective date.

HB 3879 requires Oklahoma water districts to maintain and post their records online in compliance with the Oklahoma Open Records Act, except for private or confidential information. It sets specific financial audit requirements: districts with over $50,000 in annual revenue must obtain annual audits by certified public accountants, while smaller districts must prepare annual financial reviews. Both types of reports must be filed with the State Auditor and Inspector within six months of the fiscal year-end. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, directly affecting all Oklahoma water districts operating under these financial thresholds.
