MODERATE

SB 80 was converted from a new bill introducing a new section of law to an amendatory bill that modifies an existing statute (69 O.S. 2021, Section 1705). The bill's title and sponsor information were updated to reflect it as a floor substitute, and the substantive content was reorganized from a new section to an amendment of an existing authority section. The core policy content regarding turnpike construction requirements, public notice procedures, and specific turnpike routes appears to remain substantively similar, though the formatting and structure were altered.
