The bill amends Section 305 of Title 67 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the Archives and Records Commission. The key change in this legislation is the extension of the Commission's existence until July 1, 2028, replacing the previous termination date of July 1, 2025. The Commission will continue to consist of a Chairman appointed by the Governor, the State Librarian as Vice Chairman and Secretary, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Auditor and Inspector, and the State Treasurer.

Additionally, the bill reaffirms the Commission's exclusive authority over the disposition of all public records and archives from state entities, while clarifying that this authority does not extend to the records of political subdivisions or the confidential records of the Oklahoma Tax Commission. This re-creation and modification of the termination date is in accordance with the Oklahoma Sunset Law, ensuring the Commission's ongoing role in managing state records and archives.
