SB 560 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Turnpikes; prohibiting turnpike projects, routes, and extensions under certain circumstances; requiring certain election be held in certain area. Effective date.

SB 560 requires a special election among property owners within one mile of a proposed turnpike route before the Oklahoma Legislature can authorize new turnpike projects, extensions, or routes. Approval requires a majority "yes" vote from these landowners, with the election organized by county election boards and requiring specific notice (three weeks of newspaper ads and 20 days of public postings). The bill also specifies acceptable proof of ownership for voting (like deeds or divorce decrees), limits votes for subdivided land, and mandates a new election if over four years pass since the last vote. It directly affects landowners adjacent to proposed turnpike corridors and takes effect November 1, 2025.
