SB 684 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Income tax credit; relating to the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act; modifying tax years for which certain annual credit limit is enforced; prescribing procedure for enforcement of annual limit. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 684 increases the annual Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit limit to $7,500 for tax years 2024 and beyond, directly affecting Oklahoma taxpayers who claim this credit for eligible private school expenses. The bill modifies how the credit's annual limit is enforced and requires the Oklahoma Tax Commission to maintain a publicly searchable online list of all credit claimants, including names, amounts, and specific tax provisions used. It also updates definitions for "qualified expenses," such as tuition at accredited private schools and approved educational materials, while specifying that discounted tuition doesn't count toward the credit. The law includes administrative changes to transparency requirements and credit enforcement procedures. This bill was signed into law by the Governor on May 23, 2025.
