Floor (House) → Floor (Senate) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was converted from the House version to the Senate floor version, which involved significant reorganization of the text and the addition of a new page header. The substantive policy content regarding the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma Arts Council, and the J.M. Davis Memorial Commission remains largely identical, with minor formatting adjustments to the statutory language.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to govern the same three state entities and their funding restrictions.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version, including a new date (February 17, 2026) and a revised page footer indicating the Senate version.

The text was reformatted to align with Senate markup conventions, resulting in a reordering of lines and the insertion of new page breaks and headers.

Minor phrasing adjustments were made to the statutory text, such as changing 'must shall' to 'must shall be affirmed' and updating the Internal Revenue Code citation for the Arts Council, but these do not alter the legal effect.

MINOR

The bill was amended to transition from an 'Introduced' draft to a final 'Engrossed' version, incorporating substantive text changes and formatting adjustments.
