recording no later than thirty (30) days from the date the license
was issued.
B.  The time within which an act is to be done, as provided for
in Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall be computed by excluding
the first day and including the last day.  If the last day is a
legal holiday as defined by Section 82.1 of Title 25 of the Oklahoma
Statutes, it shall be excluded.  The provisions of this section are
hereby declared to be a clarification of the law as it existed prior

or proceeding arising under Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes prior
to June 1, 2000, for which a determination of the period of time
prescribed by this section is in question or has been in question
due to the enactment of Section 2006 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma
Statutes shall be governed by the method for computation of time as
