The bill amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes to refine the processes related to municipal zoning and land use decisions. It introduces a requirement that proposed zoning changes must receive a three-fourths vote from municipal governing bodies with more than seven members, or a three-fifths vote from those with seven or fewer members. Additionally, the legislation emphasizes that while comprehensive plans can inform decision-making, determinations must be based on objective and relevant facts rather than solely on public opposition. It also establishes that municipal zoning decisions are presumed valid unless the challenging party can prove otherwise.

Further amendments include the establishment of a framework for appeals against decisions made by the board of adjustment, mandating that such appeals be filed within thirty business days and that a stay on the effectiveness of a decision can only be granted by the district court. The bill clarifies the responsibilities of the planning commission in approving land subdivision plans and specifies that municipal platting decisions are quasi-judicial. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and adherence to established regulations in municipal land use processes, with an effective date set for November 1, 2025.
