HB 4040 is a procedural bill that names Oklahoma's 2026 state budget act and sets its effective date.

The bill specifies that the act will take effect on November 1, 2026, and is structured as a non-codified section (not part of Oklahoma's official statutes). It affects state government operations by formalizing the budget's naming convention for administrative purposes.
