SB 901 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Office of Management and Enterprise Services; prohibiting Office from promoting or marketing certain insurance products. Effective date.

This bill prohibits the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services from promoting or marketing insurance products other than those covered under the state's Risk Management Program. The law specifically bars the office from selling or advertising additional insurance options alongside the existing coverage for fire departments, fire protection districts, and related emergency services. The restriction applies to all insurance marketing activities connected to the Risk Management Program, ensuring the office only handles the specific insurance and indemnity coverage authorized by current statutes. The bill becomes effective on November 1, 2025, and does not alter the existing insurance coverage or eligibility requirements for participating fire and emergency service entities.
