Vetoed·5/27/25

Oklahoma SB898 removes the requirement for certain bidders to provide a written statement under oath for construction projects.

Oklahoma SB898 amends 61 O.S. 2021, Section 108, to eliminate the need for certain bidders to submit a written statement under oath when participating in construction projects by political subdivisions. The bill removes the requirement for disclosing business relationships with architects, engineers, or other parties to the project, as well as relationships between officers or directors of the bidding company and any other parties. The change aims to streamline the bidding process for construction projects in Oklahoma.
