Lawson v. Leflore Co. Detention Center Public Trust Security Comm.

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that the LeFlore County Detention Center public trust does not satisfy the statutory definition of a "law enforcement agency" under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, reversing the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of the trust and remanding for further proceedings. The Court based its decision on a plain‑meaning analysis of the statute’s three components and concluded the legislature’s language is unambiguous.
