OK SB1341

Amends 11 O.S. 2011, Section 44-110 to change who may appeal municipal board of adjustment decisions, limiting eligibility to those entitled to mailed notice of the public hearing, persons whose property interests are directly affected, or the municipal governing body

Replaces automatic stays during appeals with a new procedure requiring parties to apply to district court for a stay, with hearings to be conducted within 30 days of application

Courts must evaluate four factors when determining whether to grant a stay: likelihood of success on merits, irreparable harm to property interests, effect on other parties, and public policy concerns

Requires bond or other security to be posted within 10 business days if a stay is granted, though municipal governing bodies are exempt from the bond requirement

Declared an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval; passed Senate March 7, 2016 and House March 30, 2016
