OK SB560

Requires a special election among property owners within a one-mile radius of any proposed turnpike route, extension, or new project before the Legislature can authorize construction

Authorization proceeds only if a majority of affected landowners vote in favor; county election boards conduct the elections with newspaper publication notice for 3 consecutive weeks and posting in 3 public places for at least 20 days prior

Election approval expires after 4 years, requiring a new special election if legislative authorization has not occurred within that timeframe

For jointly-owned property, one owner may vote on behalf of all co-tenants or joint tenants by presenting proxies or proof of ownership to the county election board

Landowners who subdivide their property after election notice is published retain only one vote regardless of how many tracts they create; effective date is November 1, 2025
