HB 3098 repeals an outdated Oklahoma statute (21 O.S. 2021, Section 1783) that addressed the crime of "secreting telegraphic dispatches." This law, which relates to handling telegraph communications, is no longer relevant as telegraph technology is obsolete. The bill removes this provision from state law with no direct impact on current residents or businesses, as the statute was not actively enforced. The repeal takes effect on November 1, 2026.
