Attorney General Opinion

Attorney General (AG) opinions are written interpretations of existing law issued by Oklahoma’s Attorney General. They may be requested by a member of the Legislature, a district attorney, or by any state officer, board, commission or department on matters in which they are officially interested.  AG opinions may not be requested by another division of government (e.g. city or school board) or by a private citizen or organization.

AG opinions are binding on public officials unless or until the opinion is set aside by a court; however, opinions that conclude a statute is unconstitutional are advisory only. The Attorney General typically will not issue formal opinions on questions relating to pending legislation or litigation.
