MODERATE

The bill text was converted from the House version to the Senate version, resulting in changes to the header, date, and committee attribution. The core policy content designating wheat as the official crop of Oklahoma remains unchanged.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the designation of wheat as the official crop is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the Senate Floor Version instead of the House of Representatives version.

The session date was updated from February 16, 2026 (House) to February 16, 2026 (Senate), maintaining the same date but changing the chamber attribution.

The committee report attribution was changed from the House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development to the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Wildlife.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to align the text with Senate floor printing standards.
