HB 4337 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Revenue and taxation; Quality Events Act; definition; effective date.

HB 4337 amends Oklahoma's Quality Events Act to clarify definitions and requirements for economic development incentives tied to major events. It defines key terms like "quality event" (e.g., national championships, televised events) and "economic impact study," which must verify additional sales tax revenue generated by the event. The bill requires local governments to use these studies to confirm tax revenue increases before providing financial support to event promoters. This affects certified sponsors (event organizers) and local governments that fund or support qualifying events, ensuring incentives align with measurable economic benefits.
