Cities and towns; Oklahoma Neighborhood Revitalization Act; creating the Oklahoma Neighborhood Revitalization Fund. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 151, the Oklahoma Neighborhood Revitalization Act, creates a permanent state fund to support small-town improvements. It provides funding for sidewalks, street lighting, signage, and roadside beautification in municipalities with fewer than 25,000 residents (per the latest census). To qualify, cities must contribute 20% of project costs, with individual projects capped at $500,000. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce will distribute funds after reviewing applications (due May 1, 2026), requiring projects to align with aesthetic improvement goals.
