The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority voted on May 5 to adjourn its public meeting and convene in executive session to receive confidential communications with legal counsel about the constitutionality of House Bill 2263 and related Oklahoma County case CV‑2024‑72.
During the public motion under Title 25 §307(B)(4), staff listed individuals to be invited into executive session if the motion passed, including Julie Kelly, Joni Seymour, Prince January, Wendy Smith, Michael Gardner, Lisa Salim, Philip Whaley, Mary Blair and Charity Anderson. The board approved the motion by roll‑call vote. The meeting later reconvened; the public record shows the board ended executive session by roll call and adjourned the meeting, with no substantive public action reported on the litigation item.
What happens next: executive session minutes and any privileged counsel guidance remain confidential by statute; public next steps will depend on the authority’s counsel and any filings in the referenced Oklahoma County case.
