Oklahoma Open Meeting Act; requiring public bodies to provide opportunity for public comment. Effective date.

SB 1252 amends Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act to require all public bodies (like city councils, school boards, and county commissions) to provide a reasonable opportunity for public comment on each agenda item before taking official action. The bill mandates that public comment must occur prior to votes, while allowing public bodies to set uniform, reasonable rules for comment duration, order, and sign-up procedures. It does not change existing notice requirements for meetings but specifically adds this public comment provision to the statute. The bill directly affects all local and state government groups covered by Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act.
