This bill amends Section 8.2 of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the authority of counties to adopt or amend their home rule charters. The key change involves increasing the population threshold for counties to exercise this authority. Specifically, the bill raises the population limit from less than 550,000 to less than 825,000. Additionally, it modifies the requirement regarding the presence of a municipality within the county, changing the population requirement from 250,000 to 500,000.

The bill also updates statutory language for clarity and consistency. It is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. These changes aim to provide greater flexibility for larger counties in Oklahoma to establish or modify their governance structures in accordance with local needs.
