Property; Prohibition of Unfair Service Agreements Act; recording; notice; residential real estate owners; title companies; void if recorded; effective date.
HB 1177 prohibits recording "unfair service agreements" related to residential real estate in Oklahoma property records. It requires county clerks to refuse such recordings and states that any accidentally recorded agreement is void and provides no notice to buyers, creditors, or title companies. The bill directly affects residential property buyers, title companies, and owners by preventing hidden service agreements from appearing in public records. It becomes effective November 1, 2025, and ensures these agreements cannot legally bind future property owners.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from an Engrossed version to a Floor version, with the title page updated to reflect the House of Representatives. The core legislative content regarding the prohibition of unfair service agreements remains substantively unchanged, though minor wording adjustments were made to the summary description of the act.
TECHNICAL
Title page header changed from 'ENGROSSED HOUSE' to 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - FLOOR VERSION' to reflect the bill's current stage in the legislative process.
The summary of the bill's purpose was slightly reworded for clarity, changing 'prohibiting the recording' to 'prohibited recording' and adding language about the agreement being void if recorded.
A new note was added on the second page stating 'BOLD FACE denotes Committee Amendments' to help readers identify changes made by the Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight Committee.
