This bill amends existing legislation regarding the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission by removing the expiration date of the Commission, which was previously set for June 30, 2027. The Commission will continue to operate indefinitely, composed of nine members appointed by various state officials, including the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma State Senate, and the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The bill also modifies the structure of appointments and terms for the members, ensuring representation from citizens, business owners, and experts in relevant fields.

Additionally, the bill revises the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission Revolving Fund, establishing it as a continuing fund not subject to fiscal year limitations. It changes the conditions under which funds can be budgeted and expended, allowing for greater flexibility in the use of the fund for preserving and developing Route 66. The requirement for prior approval by the Legislature for fund expenditures has been removed, and the Commission is tasked with adopting permanent rules to govern the application and funding processes. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
