It does not detail specific policy changes, as the provided text only includes the act's title, effective date, and noncodification clause. This bill is procedural, focusing on naming the act and its implementation timeline rather than outlining concrete financial mechanisms.

HB 3085 allows Oklahoma counties with fewer than 200,000 residents to levy a lodging tax of up to 5% on hotels, motels, and similar accommodations, but only after voter approval via election or petition. It requires counties to specify how tax revenue will be used (e.g., tourism promotion) and creates revolving funds for those designated purposes, which must be spent strictly on the stated goals. The tax cannot apply in municipalities that already charge their own lodging tax, and counties cannot seek another vote on the tax for six months if rejected. This bill directly affects small counties, local hospitality businesses, and municipal governments with existing lodging taxes.

HB 3079 requires Oklahoma's Office of Management and Enterprise Services to create and maintain a single public website called "Open Books 2.0" that displays detailed state and federal spending data. The website must include searchable records of all expenditures (excluding certain transfers and individual payments), incentive payments, tax credits, and stimulus funds, with specific details like recipient names, amounts, dates, and purposes. All transaction data must be entered within 90 days of occurrence, and the site must allow public export of data in standard formats. This law directly affects citizens seeking financial transparency, with key features including road funding data (by 2012) and an interactive taxpayer receipt function (by 2015).
