Save Oklahoma Farms And Ranches Awaiting review of version 4

This section...who has oversight on this? Is this going to be public information? I can agree with the need for vehicles, but I can also see this turning into every member of the CLO and their wives having new Range Rovers and Polaris Rangers...and an unlimited CLO budget to buy them with. "6. Purchase, own, and operate motor vehicles necessary for use in their operations and purchase insurance on such motor vehicles in accordance with statutory provisions and subject to the approval of the Risk Management Administrator as provided for in Section 85.58A of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes." Hard NO on adding that the CLO board can purchase investment properties, this smacks of fishy business to me. The board of the CLO has access to information that the public doesn't have access to, such as where a new turnpike route is planned, or where a new Data center is proposed, or where they have detected minerals undergound. This gives the CLO board an unfair advantage in bidding against public Joe Schmoe for that piece of land, having prior knowledge of the investment opportunity coming. Insider trading, via CLO board. Taking away an honest outside appraisal and giving the CLO board the authority to determine value is ridiculous. "Prior to the granting of such easement, an appraisal shall be conducted to the Commissioners of the Land Office shall determine the fair market value of the easement. The If the district or cooperative requesting the easement shall disagrees with such value, it may petition the District Court district court in the county in which the easement is located to determine the fair market value of the easement. No, why are we lessening the real estate requirements? "Areal estate licensee(agent/broker) is state-licensed to facilitate property transactions. A REALTOR® is a licensee who also holds active membership in the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), adhering to a strict, higher Code of Ethics" Now you want just a real estate licensee? Not a realtor? I'm at page 6 and not wasting my time reading the rest of this bill. HARD NO.
