HB 3276 is a procedural bill that names a future law as the "Oklahoma Crimes and Punishments Act of 2026" but does not create new legal provisions. It specifies the act will take effect on November 1, 2026, and explicitly states it will not be codified in Oklahoma's official statutes. This bill only establishes a title and effective date for a future legislative act, with no substantive changes to criminal law or direct impact on residents. It serves purely as a naming convention for an upcoming law that will remain outside the state's codified statutes.
HB 3064 requires Oklahoma counties to use a new standardized form for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses when they purchase a new home, ensuring they maintain their property tax exemption. The form must confirm they previously qualified for the exemption on their old homestead, and county assessors must use it to update property records to reflect the new exempt status. This applies specifically to veterans who qualify under Oklahoma Constitution Sections 8E and 8F for their primary residence (homestead). The bill creates a clear process to avoid losing tax benefits during home purchases and ensures county officials send updated tax bills accordingly. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
This bill formally names the Insurance Act of 2026 and sets its effective date for November 1, 2026.

The law directly affects the Oklahoma insurance regulatory framework by providing a clear citation and implementation timeline.
HB 3366 creates the name "Oklahoma Public Health and Safety Workplace Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026.

The bill serves only to name the act and specify its implementation date.

This summary focuses solely on the bill's naming and effective date provisions, with no substantive policy changes.
HB 3337 modifies fees charged by Oklahoma's State Treasurer for financial services and establishes a new securities lending program. It increases fees for returned checks ($25), rejected warrants ($5 per item), and stop payments ($15 per item), and adds a 0.05% annual fee (5 basis points) on the state's blended investment portfolio starting in 2026. The bill creates a "Securities Lending and Custodial Fee Revolving Fund" to cover costs from lending state securities to financial institutions, with excess income going to the General Revenue Fund. These changes directly affect the State Treasurer's office and state agencies managing state funds.
HB 3368 requires health insurance plans covering prescription drugs to allow pharmacies (including those providing compound drugs) to bid for pharmacy service contracts at least every three years. It applies specifically to plans not already using an open pharmacy network, meaning insurers must periodically seek bids from pharmacies rather than maintaining fixed contracts. The bill does not affect plans that already operate open networks, and it takes effect on November 1, 2026. This changes how insurers select pharmacy partners for covered drug services.
HB 3393 sets tiered annual license fees for commercial pet breeders and animal shelters in Oklahoma based on the number of intact female animals they house. Breeders with 1-10 female animals pay $200, while those with 101+ pay $1,000; shelters pay a flat $200. The bill also requires double the renewal fee if applications are submitted after expiration, treating late filings as violations. This legislation directly affects large-scale breeders and shelters by establishing specific fee structures under the Commercial Pet Breeders and Animal Shelter Licensing Act, effective November 1, 2026.
HB 3330, titled the "Oklahoma Assault and Battery Penalties Act of 2026," creates a new framework for sentencing in assault and battery cases.

The bill text does not specify the exact penalty changes, only that it creates a new penalty structure for these offenses.
HB 3272 establishes the "Oklahoma Game and Fish Act of 2026" as a noncodified act, meaning it will not be added to Oklahoma's official legal code. The bill sets an effective date of November 1, 2026, for this naming provision. It does not create new regulations or alter existing game and fish laws, but formally designates the act's title and implementation timeline. This is a procedural measure focused solely on naming and timing, with no direct impact on public policy or affected groups.
HB 3352 updates Oklahoma's pardon and parole procedures by revising statutory language and adding new requirements. It creates an accelerated commutation process for individuals convicted of crimes reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors, requiring the Pardon and Parole Board to prioritize these cases. The bill mandates extended notification timelines (20 business days) for victims, district attorneys, and the Attorney General before decisions, and requires the Board to provide detailed annual reports to the Legislature on approval rates and public input. These changes apply directly to the Pardon and Parole Board, inmates seeking commutation or pardon, and crime victims.
