Okla. Admin. Code § 753:11-15-1

Current through Vol. 42, No. 6, December 2, 2024

Section 753:11-15-1 - Authority

(a) By operation of law, OMES does not have any authority or responsibility for property purchased for or under the management or control of the University Hospitals Authority except as expressly provided by law. [74 O.S. § 63(G)] State property law expressly provides that the Trust must provide an inventory to OMES [74 O.S. § 110.1], but no such express provision appears in the Oklahoma Surplus Property Act. That being so, OMES has no authority over property belonging to the Trust beyond that of serving as a repository for the Trust's inventory. [74 O.S. § 63(G)].

(b) These administrative rules have thus been implemented to fully comply with the spirit of laws applicable to state property [74 O.S. § 110.1] and the Oklahoma Surplus Property Act [74 O.S. § 62.1- 62.9] while reducing the risk of liability to the Trust for the transfer or disposal of surplus hospital property-property unique from other state property. These Policies and Procedures apply to University Hospitals Trust, in turn, which exists for the principal purpose of effectuating the purposes of the University Hospitals Authority as established in the University Hospitals Authority Act.
