AI Summary

This bill removes "sunset" provisions, which are clauses that cause agencies, boards, and commissions to automatically expire after a certain date, from numerous state agencies, boards, and commissions, effectively making them permanent. It also repeals the Oklahoma Sunset Act itself, which is the law that governs these sunset provisions. The bill amends existing statutes for agencies like the Oklahoma Abstractors Board, Oklahoma State Athletic Commission, Teacher Recruitment and Retention Program, and many others, by deleting references to their scheduled expiration dates. Additionally, it repeals specific statutes related to various boards and commissions, such as the Oklahoma Beef Council and the Construction Industries Board, further solidifying their continued existence. The inclusion of an emergency clause indicates the bill is intended to take effect immediately upon passage.
