News summary

The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office is investigating the State Board of Education for a potential "willful violation" of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act after three lawmakers were denied access to an executive session. The board reportedly held one executive session instead of the two listed on the agenda, which has raised concerns among legislators, particularly Rep. Jacob Rosecrants and Sen. Mary Boren. The Attorney General's spokesperson, Phil Bacharach, emphasized that violations could lead to a year in jail and a $500 fine. Boren, who previously faced similar access issues, indicated that actions taken during the questionable session could be null and void if deemed illegal. State Superintendent Ryan Walters did not respond to requests for comment regarding the investigation. The context of these events suggests ongoing tensions between the board and lawmakers over procedural compliance.
