SB 404 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Counties; repealing the County Home Rule Charter Act. Effective date.

SB 404 repeals Sections 8.1 through 8.5 of Oklahoma's County Home Rule Charter Act (19 O.S. 2021), which previously allowed counties to adopt home rule charters. This repeal removes counties' ability to create their own local charters under this specific provision. The change takes effect November 1, 2025. The bill does not create new authority but eliminates an existing option for county governance.
