Senate Bill No. 404, introduced by Stewart, seeks to repeal Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertain to the County Home Rule Charter Act. This legislative action effectively removes the provisions that govern the establishment and operation of home rule charters for counties in Oklahoma.

The bill stipulates that the repeal will take effect on November 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period before the current regulations are eliminated. The Committee on Local and County Government has reviewed the bill and recommended its passage.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: 19-8.1, 19-8.2, 19-8.3, 19-8.4, 19-8.5
Floor (Senate): 19-8.1, 19-8.2, 19-8.3, 19-8.4, 19-8.5
