Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-628.9: Fire Service Training

The State Regents may provide to Oklahoma State University, in

addition to that institution's regular budget allocation for

educational and general operating functions, a separate allocation

of sufficient funds for underwriting the costs of special programs

in fire protection to be carried out through Oklahoma State

University Fire Service Training; and the Legislature further

expresses its intent that the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher

Education provide sufficient funds to expand the program of fire

training adequate to meet the needs of the State of Oklahoma, since

such program is a matter of essential public interest and safety.
