The bill amends Section 108 of Title 61 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the construction bidding procedures for political subdivisions. The key change involves the removal of the requirement for bidders to provide a written statement under oath when disclosing certain business relationships related to the project. Specifically, bidders will still need to disclose the nature of any partnerships or business relationships with the architect, engineer, or other parties involved in the project, as well as any relationships between officers or directors of the bidding company and those of the architectural or engineering firms. However, the stipulation that these disclosures must be made under oath has been eliminated.

This legislative change aims to simplify the bidding process by reducing the formalities associated with the required disclosures, potentially making it easier for bidders to participate in construction projects. By removing the oath requirement, the bill seeks to streamline the documentation process while still ensuring that necessary information about business relationships is disclosed to maintain transparency in the bidding process.
