Eminent domain; requiring acquiring agency to provide certain statement to property owner; modifying certain notice requirements. Effective date.

SB 1945 requires state agencies and entities using eminent domain to provide property owners with a clear, plain-language "Landowner's Bill of Rights" at the start of any acquisition process. This document must explain key rights, including notification of the proposed taking, good-faith negotiation (with access to appraisal details), a fair damage assessment, the right to a hearing and appeal, and a first right to purchase the property if it's later sold by the government. The Attorney General must review and update this document every two years to maintain accuracy and clarity. The bill directly affects Oklahoma property owners whose land may be taken through eminent domain proceedings.
