Oklahoma SB2083 makes bar membership voluntary and prohibits dues for active membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association.

Oklahoma SB2083 amends the Oklahoma Bar Association rules to make the payment of annual dues voluntary for attorneys. Attorneys can choose to become inactive members without paying dues, but they must notify the Supreme Court of their status and reasons for inactivity. Inactive members can reactivate their licenses by paying one year's dues and completing mandatory continuing legal education. The bill also grants the Legislature the power to request information on complaints and disciplinary actions, hold hearings on misconduct, and subpoena documents or persons.
