Cities must publish ordinances within 30 days
Beginning November 1, 2026, Oklahoma cities and towns must publish or post most ordinances within 30 days after they pass. An ordinance on any topic other than spending money does not take effect until it is published or posted. Ordinances that only appropriate money are not delayed by this 30-day rule. Every ordinance must be published at least once in full, unless another state law allows an exception. When an ordinance is published, the newspaper must add a bracketed line that says “Published [month day, year]” to show the exact date.
