Governor Bellmon signed two bills completing Oklahoma's first statewide legislative reapportionment since 1907. The actions aim to relieve urban areas while giving Oklahoma and Tulsa counties less than half the representation urged by the federal court.

Norman Reynolds says the moves clear air but may violate state and federal constitutions. the measures lack emergency clauses and take effect 90 days after adjournment, unless the legislature adjourns sine die before November.
