School funding; removing limitations on school district general fund carryover and penalties for exceeding limitations. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 1193 removes restrictions on how much money Oklahoma school districts can carry over from one year's general fund to the next and eliminates penalties for exceeding previous carryover limits. It also removes a rule that previously blocked districts with per-pupil revenue over 300% of the average from receiving state aid. The bill updates the state's school funding formula to reflect these changes, allowing districts more flexibility with their budgets. This directly affects all Oklahoma public school districts by changing how their state aid is calculated and distributed.

MINOR
The bill transitions SB 1193 from an 'Introduced' draft to an 'Engrossed' version, indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content regarding school funding calculations, penalties, and effective dates remains unchanged, though the text includes minor formatting corrections and the addition of the House sponsor's name.
TECHNICAL
Added the name of the House sponsor (Moore) to the title page, which was missing in the introduced version.
Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies, such as removing redundant page headers and adjusting line breaks to match standard legislative formatting.
Updated the header title from 'AS INTRODUCED' to 'ENGROSSED SENATE BILL NO. 1193' to reflect the bill's current status in the legislative process.
