SB 1627 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Crimes and punishments; amending, merging, consolidating, and repealing multiple versions of statutes. Emergency.

SB 1627 consolidates and simplifies Oklahoma's legal code by merging duplicate statute sections and repealing outdated versions across multiple titles (including 21 O.S. and 47 O.S.). It directly affects the state's statutory code by removing redundant provisions, such as multiple amended versions of sections on criminal procedures and penalties. The bill streamlines the legal code without creating new policies or impacting citizens directly, focusing solely on administrative clarity. This procedural update aims to reduce confusion in legal references by standardizing current statutes.

MINOR

The bill text was updated from the 'Committee Substitute' version to the 'Floor (House)' version, primarily changing the header to reflect that it is now the House's final version ready for passage. The substantive legal text regarding the amendment and repeal of multiple Oklahoma statutes remains identical to the previous version.

TECHNICAL

The header was updated to indicate this is the 'House of Representatives - Floor Version' and 'Engrossed Senate Bill', replacing the 'Committee Substitute' label. The page footer was also updated to reflect the new version status.
