Committee advances repeal of an obsolete Tulsa County home-rule statute
Summary
Committee advanced Senate Bill 404, a repealer removing an obsolete statute that previously attempted to create a home-rule structure for Tulsa County; the bill advanced 8–0.
Senate Bill 404, a repealer of an obsolete statute that attempted to establish a home-rule structure limited to Tulsa County, was advanced by the Local and County Government Committee by an 8–0 vote.
The bill’s sponsor said the statute had been challenged in court, was found illegal by a Tulsa appellate court, and remained on the books despite being unusable. The committee moved the repeal to remove the ineffective language from statute.
A "due pass" motion was made and seconded; there were no questions or debate recorded. The clerk called the roll and the committee recorded 8 ayes and 0 nays; the chair declared the bill advanced.
The measure is a technical cleanup to remove language that is no longer enforceable because of prior litigation.
