Municipal ordinances; removing certain requirement for deposit of certain permanent volume in county law libraries. Effective date.

SB 485 (Oklahoma Senate Bill 485) amends a law requiring municipalities to deposit physical copies of compiled penal ordinances in county law libraries. The bill removes the requirement that municipalities must deposit these materials "free of cost" in county law libraries, while keeping other provisions like notifying the public and making ordinances available for purchase. This change directly affects Oklahoma cities and towns that maintain penal ordinance compilations, and county law libraries that previously received these deposits. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not alter the existing process for public access or judicial recognition of these ordinances.
