MODERATE

The bill text was converted from the House version to the Senate floor version, with minor formatting adjustments and one substantive definition change. The most significant policy change is the reclassification of the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission from a 'separate and distinct entity' to a 'separate and distinct agency', which may affect how the commission is governed and funded. Additionally, a new definition for 'Event' was added to clarify what constitutes a combative sports contest or exhibition under the law.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on amending the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission Act, but the terminology change from 'entity' to 'agency' could impact the commission's legal status and operational framework.
