This bill amends 75 O.S. 2021, Section 11a, which pertains to the interpretation of statutes in Oklahoma. The amendment introduces new provisions regarding the construction of amendatory enactments, emphasizing the intent of the Oklahoma Legislature when multiple acts amend the same statute. Specifically, it establishes that such acts should be construed together to determine legislative intent, discourages repeal by implication, and clarifies that language in amendatory measures that is neither underlined nor stricken is meant to provide context rather than change the statute. Additionally, it creates a presumption that the most recently enacted measure reflects the Legislature's intent in cases of conflicting versions of the same statute.

The bill also maintains existing rules regarding severability for acts enacted both before and after July 1, 1989, ensuring that provisions remain valid unless they are found to be inseparably connected to void provisions. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
