Oklahoma SB708 allows for the consolidation of certain fire protection districts and establishes a process for public hearings and elections.
Oklahoma SB708 amends the state's fire protection districts law to allow for the consolidation of contiguous districts. The bill outlines a process where a plan for consolidation must be developed, presented to the board of county commissioners, and approved if deemed conducive to public safety. A public hearing must be held, and an election will be conducted among qualified electors in the proposed district territory. If a majority vote in favor of consolidation, the board of county commissioners will declare the territory organized as a single fire protection district.
