HB 3217, titled the "Oklahoma District Attorneys Reform Act of 2026," is a procedural bill that establishes the name and effective date for the legislation. It specifies the bill will take effect on November 1, 2026, and is not intended to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill does not describe substantive policy changes or mechanisms, as it solely names the act and sets its implementation date. This is a standard procedural measure for introducing new legislation.
HB 3227 updates Oklahoma's licensing rules for process servers. It increases the initial license fee to $150 (from $15) and reduces renewal fees to $15, while requiring applicants to be Oklahoma residents for six months and pass background checks (prohibiting those with violent crime or sex offender convictions). The bill adds specific rules for serving legal documents at medical facilities (requiring assistance from employees during business hours), private/gated communities (allowing service only if an employee is present), and workplaces. It also creates a misdemeanor offense for employees of medical facilities or employers to refuse assisting process servers, with penalties outlined in the law.
HB 3247 creates a permanent Oklahoma Emergency Management Disaster Relief Matching Fund in the State Treasury to cover the state's share of matching requirements for federal disaster relief funds under the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. It directly affects the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management and local governments (cities, counties) receiving federal disaster aid, requiring the state and local entities to equally share the matching costs. The fund operates without annual legislative appropriations, ensuring consistent funding for disaster response. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and is designated as an emergency measure.
HB 3203 amends Oklahoma's assault and battery laws to specifically address medical treatment without consent. It defines "aggravated assault and battery" in Section 646 when medical professionals administer treatment causing injury or distress without informed consent, fail to explain risks, or ignore a patient's refusal. Violating these medical consent provisions becomes a Class B5 felony under Section 647, carrying up to four years in prison or a $5,000 fine - stricter than standard aggravated assault penalties. The bill directly affects healthcare providers performing treatments and patients who experience unauthorized medical interventions. It clarifies "informed consent" as a process requiring clear information about treatment risks and benefits.

HB 3209 removes a partial sales tax exemption for motor vehicle sales in Oklahoma, replacing it with a complete exemption. It directly affects motor vehicle sellers and buyers by eliminating the 1.25% sales tax portion previously required on top of the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. The bill also explicitly states that motor vehicle sales are no longer subject to local city or county sales or use taxes. This change applies immediately upon enactment and modifies existing tax code sections (68 O.S. §1355 and §1361) to reflect the full exemption.
