This bill amends the Oklahoma Municipal Code by modifying the definition of what constitutes an intervening strip that is considered contiguous to a municipality. Specifically, it changes the width of the intervening strip from less than four (4) rods to less than twenty (20) rods when the territory to be annexed is separated from the municipality only by a railway right-of-way or a highway right-of-way.

The effective date for this amendment is set for November 1, 2025. This change aims to expand the areas that can be considered adjacent to municipalities, potentially facilitating the annexation process for certain territories.
