Local Development Act; modifying amount of incentives or exemptions granted; requiring project plans to serve the public as a whole. Effective date.

SB 2015 modifies Oklahoma's Local Development Act to limit tax incentives for new development projects. It caps incentives at 50% of new investment, bans tax breaks for retail properties (except hotels and similar lodging), and requires all projects to include provisions benefiting the broader public, not just private entities. The bill also mandates annual reports detailing incentive recipients, project costs, public benefits, and financial disclosures to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. These changes aim to ensure tax breaks serve community needs while preventing excessive or exclusive private benefits.
