Research notes

Dillon's-Rule enabling act for statutory (non-charter) municipalities; provides the *floor* of procedure for charter cities under Okla. Const. Art. XVIII §3. Charter cities (OKC, Tulsa, Norman, Edmond, Lawton, Broken Arrow, Enid, Stillwater, Muskogee, Bartlesville, etc.) may layer additional procedure but cannot drop below §43-106 notice/hearing requirements.
