The bill creates a Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team Council to oversee teams, approve freestanding teams, conduct annual reviews, and mandate public annual reports on child death/near-death case reviews. It directly affects district attorneys, law enforcement, child welfare staff, medical personnel, and child advocacy centers involved in abuse investigations.

HB 3677: Schools; Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Program; Oklahoma Tax Commission; website; effective date.

HB 3677 amends Oklahoma's Parental Choice Tax Credit Program to expand tax credits for families using private education.

The bill establishes income-based credit amounts (ranging from $5,000 to $7,500 annually), covers tuition, tutoring, materials, and assessments, and adds special provisions for schools serving homeless students or financially disadvantaged students. The Oklahoma Tax Commission must publish monthly updates on the program via its website, with the changes effective for tax year 2024 and beyond.

HB 3683: Oklahoma Pension Legislation Actuarial Analysis Act; definition; Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System; definitions; term; effective dates.

HB 3683 defines key terms for analyzing pension-related legislation in Oklahoma, primarily creating a "nonfiscal retirement bill" category. It specifies that such bills do not change retirement system costs or funding factors, including one-time benefit increases with strict funding ratio limits (e.g., capping increases at $1,000-$1,400 based on system funding levels), minor administrative adjustments, or cost-of-living changes. This definition helps streamline legislative review by clarifying which bills require full actuarial analysis versus those that can be processed without cost impact assessments. The bill directly affects how Oklahoma lawmakers categorize and process pension bills, focusing on procedural clarity for the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System.

HB 4297: Insurance; certified certificate of death; small life insurance policies; proof; sworn statement; effective date.

HB 4297 simplifies proof of death for life insurance claims on policies valued at $15,000 or less. Instead of requiring a standard death certificate, beneficiaries may submit a certified death certificate (showing cause of death) along with a sworn statement from the funeral director who handled burial services confirming the death's authenticity. This change directly affects beneficiaries of small life insurance policies and funeral directors who provide the required statement. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026, streamlining claims processing for low-value policies.

HB 4293: Controlled dangerous substances; Veterans Mental Health Innovation Act; authorizing certain scientific research and clinical trials related to ibogaine; requiring registration; providing certain immunities; effective date.

HB 4293, the "Veterans Mental Health Innovation Act," allows Oklahoma universities and affiliated research facilities to conduct clinical trials using ibogaine - a substance derived from the Tabernanthe iboga plant - to treat specific medical conditions. It authorizes research for conditions like PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, opioid use disorder, and chronic pain, requiring registration with state health and agriculture agencies and annual reporting. Researchers and qualifying patients participating in approved trials receive legal immunity from penalties for ibogaine use, possession, or distribution under strict compliance with the bill’s requirements. The law explicitly states it does not decriminalize ibogaine for general use, focusing solely on regulated research. All activities must follow detailed study protocols and submit final reports to state legislative leaders.

HB 4197: Revenue and taxation; sales tax exemptions; nonprofit entities; public safety functions; effective date; emergency.

HB 4197 amends Oklahoma's sales tax exemption rules to expand exemptions for certain public safety and infrastructure-related purchases. It specifically adds a new exemption (under Section 1356(10)) for sales of tangible personal property or services to named state agencies (like the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs) and public contractors when purchasing for public construction projects. The bill requires vendors to obtain written certification from buyers confirming purchases are made on behalf of these agencies to prevent misuse. This change directly affects state agencies, public contractors, and vendors supplying goods/services for public construction projects, clarifying which purchases qualify for tax exemption.

HB 4109: Crimes and punishments; directing certain persons to report injuries to law enforcement; confidentiality of reports; codification; effective date.

HB 4109 requires doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical providers to report specific injuries to law enforcement, including gunshot wounds, knife attacks, poisoning, severe burns (like 5% body burns or respiratory injuries), or violent injuries that could indicate a crime. Reports must include patient details, injury descriptions, and any relevant video evidence from the facility within 72 hours, while keeping patient and reporter identities confidential. The law grants immunity from civil lawsuits for making these reports and prohibits public disclosure of the reports or reporter identities. This affects healthcare workers treating victims of these injuries and ensures law enforcement receives timely, detailed information for investigations.

SB 1925: Protection from Domestic Abuse Act; modifying penalties for protective order violations. Effective date.

SB 1925 amends Oklahoma's penalties for violating protective orders in domestic abuse cases. It increases fines and jail terms for repeat violations and for violations causing physical injury, with mandatory 52-week domestic abuse treatment programs for offenders. First-time violations without injury carry up to 1 year in jail or $1,000 fines, while second-time violations become Class D1 felonies with 1-3 years in prison. Violations causing injury now trigger misdemeanor Class D1 felony charges with 20 days to 3 years in prison, plus mandatory counseling. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of breaching domestic abuse protective orders.

SB 1560: Medical interventions; creating the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act; prohibiting certain acts by businesses, ticket issuers, and schools. Emergency.

SB 1560, the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act, prohibits businesses, schools, and ticket issuers from denying service, admission, or employment based on whether a person has received medical interventions like vaccines. It bans schools from requiring medical interventions for attendance, businesses from mandating them for services (except for specific foreign travel needs with written notice), and governments from requiring them for benefits, licenses, or public access. The law exempts Medicare/Medicaid providers and existing safety standards (like masks during the pandemic), but explicitly excludes vaccines and pandemic-related requirements from this exemption. It applies directly to all Oklahoma businesses, schools, and government entities, with enforcement through the Attorney General or local prosecutors.

SB 1981: Oklahoma Security Guard and Private Investigator Act; authorizing certain uniform use. Effective date.

SB 1981 allows licensed security guards or police officers volunteering security at places of worship to wear their agency's uniform with the employing agency's consent. It prohibits unlicensed volunteers from wearing uniforms or badges that make them appear as licensed security guards or police officers. The bill amends Oklahoma's Security Guard and Private Investigator Act to clarify these uniform rules for volunteer security services. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1935: Solar setbacks; creating the Commercial Solar Facility Setback Act. Effective date.

SB 1935, the Commercial Solar Facility Setback Act, requires utility-scale solar facilities (over 1 megawatt) to maintain a minimum 125-foot distance from residences, unless the resident owner waives this requirement in writing. It preserves the original setback rules for repowering projects (replacing components without expanding the facility), ensuring existing setbacks apply rather than new rules. The bill excludes residential solar panels and specifies that overhead infrastructure must stay 50 feet from public roads (except for necessary interconnection lines). This Act takes effect November 1, 2026, and applies only to commercial solar projects, not home installations.
