HB 3891 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Counties and county officers; basic salaries of county officers; base salaries of county commissioners; effective date.

HB 3891 sets minimum and maximum annual salary ranges for elected county officers in Oklahoma, requiring all such officials to earn at least $60,000 per year (with sheriffs specifically mandated to earn no less than $44,000, and up to $74,500). It directs county excise boards to set salaries within these limits and mandates that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation reimburse counties using County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CIRB) funds if county budgets cannot cover the $60,000 minimum. The bill prohibits reducing salaries for officials who assumed office before its passage and repeals an existing salary provision (19 O.S. 2021, Section 180.63). It becomes effective November 1, 2026.
