MINOR
This bill was amended to transition from the House version to the Senate version, incorporating Senate-specific formatting and committee report details. The substantive policy content regarding the repeal of 21 O.S. 2021, Section 1852 (fire alarm box notices) and the effective date of November 1, 2025, remains unchanged. The changes are primarily technical and formatting adjustments to reflect Senate floor processing.
