[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1486688, member: 5151"] All bills must have a title and enacting clause. The "title" is the part that lists all the statutes that it is making a change to, like an index of the sections in the bill. The "enacting clause" is the Constitutionally required text of "BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OKLAHOMA". Striking the title or enacting clause is a parliamentary game to make a vote more symbolic than anything. A "stricken title" looks like this: [indent][ Oklahoma Self-Defense Act - adding condition - effective date*][/indent] An intact title looks like this: [indent]An Act relating to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act; amending 21 O.S. 2001, Section 1289.6, which relates to conditions under which firearms may be carried; adding certain condition; and providing an effective date.[/indent] [/QUOTE]
