HB4229

Oklahoma HB4229 allows school districts or public schools to declare an emergency for emergency contracts to restore occupancy and return displaced.

Oklahoma HB4229 permits school districts or public schools to declare an emergency for entering into emergency contracts. This applies when classes in the affected building or facility have been displaced, reassigned, or relocated due to damage, unsafe conditions, or failure of essential building systems. The emergency declaration must be approved by the governing board and documented as part of the public record. The emergency declaration is limited to contracts and actions necessary to restore occupancy or permit the return of displaced students.
