AI Summary
This bill, concerning militias in Oklahoma, amends existing law to remove the prohibition against independent military organizations, meaning groups can now bear arms without needing prior permission from the Commander in Chief, except for corps of cadets at educational institutions. The bill also makes the language gender-neutral by changing "he" to "he or she" when referring to the Governor, who is the Commander in Chief of the state's military forces. This change aims to modernize the law and ensure inclusivity. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2026.
