Cities and towns; restricting certain municipal powers. Effective date.

SB 347 amends Oklahoma's municipal land use regulations (11 O.S. § 43-103) to update the objectives cities and towns must consider when creating zoning rules, including reducing street congestion, promoting health, preserving history, and facilitating public infrastructure. The bill specifically prohibits municipalities from imposing minimum parking requirements when implementing these regulations. It directly affects all Oklahoma cities and towns that develop zoning or land use codes, requiring them to align with the updated objectives starting November 1, 2025. The change removes parking mandates as a tool for local governments to shape development patterns.
