SECTION 748:15-1-2. Procedure to adopt different code

(a)   An adopted code shall be filed with the Commission. The code shall be accompanied by a written statement from the agency's or political subdivision's chief executive officer or legal counsel certifying that said code has been duly adopted in accordance with Oklahoma law, with a copy of the official minutes reflecting the adoption of said code. The code will then be approved for listing on the Commission's website subject to 748:15-1-2(b).

(b)   The Commission's approval for website listing shall be entirely focused upon whether the submitting agency or jurisdiction has completed the filing requirements prescribed by the Commission and certified to the Commission as to the lawful adoption of the code. The Commission shall not approve codes based upon the technical equivalency or superiority of the submitted code compared to State adopted codes. However, if the Commission finds that a State agency's or political subdivision's adopted code does not contain higher standards or requirements than any State Adopted Code, the Commission may indicate this finding on the website listing.

(c)   Effective dates of locally adopted codes submitted by an agency or jurisdiction shall not be considered or ruled upon by the Commission.
