The Osage County Commission moved on June 30 to create a county fund to collect a $10 technology fee added to offender registrations under recently enacted state legislation, adopting Resolution 2026‑013.
County legal counsel and staff reviewed the mechanics in the draft resolution: each offender registration will carry a $10 technology fee that the county must segregate into a designated fund and remit to the state as required by statute. Commissioners and staff discussed timing and the administrative process; staff said the new system is still being implemented and described the resolution as a housekeeping step to create the separate fund to track that revenue.
Why it matters: The fee creates a dedicated revenue stream tied to a state‑level offender registry system and requires the county to maintain a separate accounting fund to collect and transfer funds as prescribed. The commission adopted the resolution by motion and voice vote.
The transcript does not provide a statute citation for the new law beyond the meeting discussion and contains an abbreviated reference to legislative action; the resolution text was available for commissioners to review after the meeting.
The session continued with other fiscal and operational reports after the vote.
