Senate Bill No. 653 amends Section 2237 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the operations of the Oklahoma Today Magazine Division within the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. The bill allows the Division to distribute the magazine electronically, thereby modernizing its distribution methods. It also updates statutory language and references, ensuring that the law reflects current practices and terminologies.

Additionally, the bill introduces a commission structure for employees who secure advertising and sales for the magazine, allowing them to earn up to 25% of net sales as additional compensation, with specific limitations on total earnings. The sale of advertising will no longer be subject to the Oklahoma Central Purchasing Act or the Administrative Procedures Act. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
