HJR 1035 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Approving certain rules of health-related state agencies; disapproving certain rules; distribution.

This bill (HJR 1035) is a procedural resolution that approves most proposed permanent rules from Oklahoma's health-related state agencies while rejecting specific rule changes. It directly affects agencies like the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, Department of Mental Health, and Oklahoma Funeral Board by confirming their approved rules (e.g., rules governing healthcare services, funeral practices) but disapproving certain amendments to those rules (e.g., changes to definitions or specific regulations). The resolution does not create new policy but formalizes legislative approval of existing agency rules as required by law. It became law on May 28, 2025, without a governor's signature.
