AI Summary
This bill amends Oklahoma law to remove a prohibition on how funds can be used by the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma Arts Council, and the J.M. Davis Memorial Commission, specifically removing language that prevented funds from being used for religious purposes or for the benefit of religious individuals or institutions. The bill also updates statutory references and clarifies language regarding contracts with nonprofit corporations that hold a valid tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is a section of federal tax law that exempts certain charitable organizations from paying taxes. The changes aim to modernize the statutes and remove outdated restrictions, with the bill set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
