SB248

Moms For Liberty Oklahoma Awaiting review of version 7

SB 248 turns state asset sales into agency-controlled funding streams—with less oversight and more opportunity for quiet expansion.Expands Agency Spending Power This is the big one. Instead of: Property sale → general fund → legislative oversight It becomes: Property sale → agency-controlled revolving fund That means less direct legislative control over spending Incentivizes Selling State Assets “Revolving Fund” = Less Transparency Quiet Government Growth Mechanism This is one of those bills that: Sounds harmless (“park maintenance funding”) But quietly shifts who controls the money The real issue: Should agencies be allowed to fund themselves by selling state assets and keeping the proceeds? Questions to Pressure Legislators Why shouldn’t proceeds from state asset sales go through the general fund for oversight? What prevents agencies from: Selling valuable land Expanding budgets without legislative approval? What transparency exists for revolving fund spending? Who decides what property gets sold—and based on what criteria?
