Counties; repealing the County Home Rule Charter Act. Effective date.
SB 404 repeals specific sections (8.1-8.5) of Oklahoma's County Home Rule Charter Act (19 O.S. 2021), which previously allowed counties to adopt home rule charters. This bill directly affects Oklahoma counties that could have used the repealed framework to establish local governing charters. The repeal becomes effective November 1, 2025, removing the statutory basis for county home rule charters without creating new provisions.
