Oklahoma Turnpike Authority; requiring audit prior to the issuance of certain bonds. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 983 requires the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to conduct an independent audit before issuing certain bonds. It also mandates an evaluation of proposed toll increases and updates the legal language governing the Authority's bond processes. The bill directly affects the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority by adding financial oversight requirements before bond issuance and toll adjustments. This is a procedural change focused on transparency and fiscal accountability for the Authority's bond activities.
