• 2025 OK 68

Syllabus

¶ 0 Petitioners challenge the constitutionality of Senate Bill 632, an act relating to business courts. On July 15, 2025, the Court assumed original jurisdiction to issue a stay of the effectiveness of the Act pending further order of this Court. We deny the Governor's Motion to Dismiss. We find that Petitioners possess standing. We hold S.B. 632 is an unconstitutional violation of Article VII, Section 9 of the Oklahoma Constitution. Because we conclude the unconstitutional provisions of the Act are not severable, the Act is void in its entirety, and we need not adjudicate Petitioners' additional claims challenging the Act.
