Bill No. 717 amends the existing statutes governing the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning District in Oklahoma. The bill expands the boundaries of the district, specifically changing the reference from Northeast Thirtieth Street to Northeast Fiftieth Street. Additionally, it updates the zoning authority of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning Commission, granting it exclusive control over properties zoned as commercial, public district, or health center within the district. This change ensures that no other planning or zoning commission in the state can exert authority over these designated properties.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the Commission's authority to approve or disapprove the location and design of improvements on properties within the district. It specifies that improvements include various types of construction, such as buildings and parking facilities, while excluding existing municipal streets and utility services unless they serve state buildings or are on state land. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
