Summary
The bill directs the Oklahoma Attorney General to create and update a "Landowner’s Bill of Rights" notice that must be provided to any property owner when the government or another entity proposes to take their land through eminent domain. The notice lists the owner's rights to receive notice, a good‑faith negotiation with appraisal, a hearing, an appeal, and a right of first refusal if the land is later sold. It is intended to give owners clearer information and a chance to repurchase the property.
