Bill overview
This bill changes the way district attorneys and county sheriffs are elected in Oklahoma. It directs that these offices be nonpartisan, requiring candidates to file as independent and appear on the ballot without party designations. The bill also updates the qualifications for county sheriffs, including a requirement to complete a sheriff’s administrative school within a year of taking office, with potential revocation of CLEET certification for non-compliance.
