Bill Summary

An Act relating to cities and towns; amending 11 O.S. 2021, Section 14-106, which relates to the requirement of publication of municipal ordinances; modifying requirement to publish ordinance to thirty days after passage; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Oklahoma law, specifically Section 14-106 of Title 11, concerning the publication of municipal ordinances, which are local laws passed by cities and towns. Previously, these ordinances had to be published or posted within fifteen days of their passage to become effective, unless they only dealt with appropriating money. This bill changes that requirement, extending the timeframe to thirty days after passage for ordinances to become legally binding, ensuring that citizens have more time to be informed about new local regulations. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
