This bill was amended to significantly narrow its scope and modify compensation procedures for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. The original version applied broadly to all turnpike projects, while the amendment limits applicability to new alignments or expansions in specific counties (Oklahoma, Cleveland, and McClain) or urban areas. The amendment also changes compensation terminology from general 'property damage' to specific 'nuisance damages' and adjusts notice deadlines from 30 days to 60 days.
