SB 1869 restructures Oklahoma's Educational Television Authority (OETA) by removing its designation as an "essential" state function, altering its governance, and prohibiting the transfer of state funds to it. The bill redirects specific OETA funds to the new "Healthy Parks Healthy Minds Fund" and transfers certain OETA facilities to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. It also repeals 16 existing sections of law governing OETA, simplifying its legal framework. These changes take effect July 1, 2026, with the bill declared an emergency.
