Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Annual report on military fund spending

Beginning July 1, 2026, in any fiscal year with spending from the fund, the Oklahoma Military Department must report within 45 days after the fiscal year ends. The report must explain how the money was used. It goes to the Governor, the House Speaker, the Senate President Pro Tempore, and the appropriations leaders in both chambers.

Emergency clause makes law effective now

The law declares an emergency and is in effect upon passage and approval. This starts the act right away. Sections with stated future start dates, like the new fund on July 1, 2026, still begin on those dates.

New fund for base readiness projects

Beginning July 1, 2026, Oklahoma renames its military revolving fund and program. The Military Department can use this fund, alone or with other money, for base infrastructure, equipment, and technology. Allowed uses include simulation training software, better access onto or off bases, and building or improving shared school facilities on bases. It can also support local industries to reduce base closure risk or encourage base expansions. The department budgets and spends these funds through State Treasurer warrants.

Old base infrastructure law repealed

Effective November 1, 2026, the 2025 statute on base infrastructure needs and development is repealed. The prior authorities in that section end on that date. The state relies on the new fund and program created elsewhere in this act.
