Appropriations; making an appropriation to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 1159 appropriates $100,000 from Oklahoma's General Revenue Fund to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds are intended to support the department's existing legal duties, without creating new programs or policies. This is a routine budget allocation, not a substantive policy change, and it declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon passage.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a 'Committee Substitute' version to the 'Floor (House)' version, updating the header to reflect it is now the 'Engrossed Senate Bill'. The substantive content regarding the appropriation of $500,000 to the Remediation Assistance Revolving Fund, the effective date of July 1, 2026, and the emergency declaration remains unchanged. The only policy impact is the procedural update indicating the bill has been reviewed and approved by the House.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document title and header from 'Committee Substitute' to 'Engrossed Senate Bill' to reflect that the House has reviewed and approved the version.
Changed the page footer text from a request number to a standard House floor version identifier.
