HB 4044 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Office of Educational Quality and Accountability; appropriating certain funds for certain purpose; effective date; emergency.

HB 4044 is a procedural bill that names the "State Government Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It does not create new policies or affect any specific groups; it solely establishes the act's title and implementation timeline. The bill is noncodified, meaning it will not be added to Oklahoma's official statutes. This is a standard administrative measure to formalize the act's name and effective date without altering government operations.

MINOR
The document was converted from a House Committee Substitute draft to the official Floor Version. While the text of the bill itself (appropriating $785,000 for educational quality and accountability) remains substantively unchanged, the formatting was updated to reflect the official floor version, including new headers and page footers. No policy, funding, or eligibility changes were made.
TECHNICAL

The document title and header were updated from 'Committee Substitute' to 'Floor (House)' version to indicate the bill has been released for floor consideration.

Page footers were updated to include the official 'HB4044 HFLR' identifier and bold face indicators for committee amendments.

Line numbers and spacing were adjusted to match the official floor version formatting standards.
