Senate Bill 1933 Summary

• Requires the Oklahoma Legislature to create and maintain a comprehensive system for preserving legislative history for all bills and resolutions introduced, contingent on fund availability.

• Mandates that both the State Senate and House of Representatives develop a uniform method for recording and preserving committee testimony, documents, and floor debate in searchable public databases.

• Requires transcripts of all committee proceedings (testimony, questions, answers, debate) and floor action (Third and Fourth Reading) to be recorded and made publicly accessible online with multiple search functions.

• Establishes that certified legislative histories are self-authenticating documents admissible as evidence under Oklahoma law and allows legislators to submit corrections within 30 days of entry.

• Applies requirements to bills and resolutions beginning with the 53rd Legislature's first session and exempts internal legislative communications, staff communications, and most Conference Committee discussions from preservation requirements.
