Ch. 21, [HB 3322] – Statutes and reports
Creating rules of statutory interpretation when a statute is amended multiple times in the same or a subsequent session of the Legislature. When possible, the acts are to be construed together to determine the intent of the Legislature, reconciling provisions, rendering them consistent and giving intelligent effect to each act; disfavoring any repeals by implication; unchanged language from prior versions is not intended to change the statute; acts that do not purport by citation to amend other contemporary versions of the same statute are presumed to be reconcilable and not to conflict or contravene one another. If the same section of law has been amended in two or more measures and as a result of the enactment of those measures the official statutes of the State of Oklahoma contain two or more versions of the same section of law, if it is possible to determine the exact date and time as of which each measure was enacted as law, there shall be a presumption that the measure enacted latest in time contains the Legislature’s intent if there is a conflict between versions which cannot be avoided by construing both or all versions of the statute together. “Enacted as law” shall mean the date, hour, and minute the measure was signed by the Governor.
