Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Hirschfeld v. Oklahoma Turnpike Authority
May 31, 20232023 OK 59
Summary
The Supreme Court of Oklahoma reversed the district court’s summary‑judgment ruling for the landowners, holding that the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority gave adequate notice for the six agenda items challenged and that the February 2022 informational announcement of the ACCESS Program did not violate the Open Meeting Act. The Court also clarified that its exclusive jurisdiction over bond‑validation matters does not preclude lower courts from adjudicating Open Meeting Act claims.
