SB 2161 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Oklahoma Open Meeting Act; modifying definition. Effective date.

SB 2161 amends Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act by updating the definition of "public body" to exclude certain activities of county boards of commissioners. Specifically, it removes the requirement for public notice and open meetings when these boards act on budgetary matters under Sections 326(C), (D), and (E) of Title 19. This change directly affects county government operations by allowing budget discussions to occur without public access for these specific financial decisions. The amendment becomes effective November 1, 2026.
