SB 1541: Tort liability; prohibiting liability of off-road motorcycle entities for injury caused by certain activities. Effective date.

This bill limits legal liability for off-road motorcycle businesses and organizers. It prevents them from being sued for injuries caused by inherent risks of off-road activities (like falls or collisions on trails) when they follow industry safety standards. However, they remain liable if they intentionally caused harm or acted with reckless disregard for safety. Employees covered by workers' compensation are also excluded from this protection.

SB 1707: Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation; prohibiting certain testing of firearms. Effective date.

SB 1707 prohibits the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) from conducting ballistic testing on firearms unless there is reasonable suspicion the firearm was used in a crime. This law directly affects the OSBI's evidence-handling procedures and limits testing to cases tied to active criminal investigations. The key provision requires that any firearm testing must be connected to a specific crime, preventing general or routine testing without probable cause. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026.

SB 1605: Torts; abrogating liability for owners of private property for dirtbike use on private property. Effective date.

SB 1605 limits liability for property owners who allow dirtbike use on their private land. It states that participants (renters or users of dirtbikes) assume the inherent risks of dirtbike riding - such as surface changes, collisions, or remote location injuries - and cannot sue property owners for related injuries or deaths. The bill excludes liability protection for cases involving intentional harm, gross negligence, unsafe equipment, or failure to exercise reasonable care. This law takes effect November 1, 2026, and applies to all private property owners hosting dirtbike activities.

SB 1610: Transportation; creating the Oklahoma Work Zone Safety and Contractor Protection Act. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1610 creates the Oklahoma Work Zone Safety and Contractor Protection Act to enhance safety for road workers and contractors. It grants immunity from liability to contractors who follow federal traffic control standards (MUTCD) during work zones, protecting them from lawsuits when crashes are caused by third-party drivers. The bill also establishes a Work Zone Safety Revolving Fund to support safety initiatives and updates definitions in Oklahoma law to clarify which workers qualify for protection. These changes directly affect road construction contractors, state transportation workers, and drivers operating in work zones. The law aims to balance worker safety, automated enforcement use, and fair liability standards without advocating for specific outcomes.

SB 1650: Long-term care; requiring assisted living centers to post certain assisted living center bill of rights. Effective date.

SB 1650 requires all assisted living centers in Oklahoma to prominently display a "bill of rights" specific to the center and its staff. This bill of rights outlines 12 key provisions, including the center's right to be treated with respect, to terminate resident contracts under defined conditions (like health or safety risks), and to file grievances without fear of retaliation. The law applies to all assisted living facilities under Oklahoma’s Continuum of Care Act and takes effect on November 1, 2026. It focuses on clarifying operational rights for facilities, not altering resident protections.

SB 1498 prohibits Oklahoma employers (both public and private) from asking about an applicant's criminal history or obtaining criminal record information before making a conditional job offer. Employers may only ask about criminal convictions that would legally disqualify someone for a specific job under federal, state, or local law. The law does not apply to "sensitive positions" (like school staff, law enforcement, or roles involving vulnerable adults) or jobs where law requires criminal record checks. It takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1520 requires Oklahoma's Statewide Official Compensation Commission to set the Governor's salary as the highest among nine specific state officials (including Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and others) for any term starting after the Commission sets the salary. The Commission must set all these salaries annually but cannot set any official's pay above the Governor's, and all salary recommendations require legislative approval via joint resolution. This bill directly affects the compensation of those nine elected state officials by establishing a mandatory pay hierarchy and adding legislative oversight. The bill becomes effective November 1, 2026.

SB 2126: Energy; requiring the Corporation Commission to promulgate rules. Effective date.

SB 2126 requires Oklahoma's Corporation Commission to create rules for net metering of commercial-scale solar and other distributed energy systems exceeding 300 kilowatts. This directly affects businesses and large solar installations that generate excess electricity and seek credit for feeding it back into the grid. The bill mandates the Commission develop specific regulations by November 1, 2026, to govern how these larger systems connect to and are compensated by the electrical grid. The rules will be codified under Oklahoma Statutes Title 17, Section 156.1.

SB 1965: Conveyances; requiring certain documentation when filing a memorandum of agreement. Effective date.

SB 1965 requires anyone filing a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with a county clerk to submit a valid real estate contract, a full property description with price, and a sworn affidavit confirming the filing is in good faith.

If proof isn’t provided, the clerk must remove the MOA. Violating these rules by knowingly filing a fraudulent MOA is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both, and may also trigger civil liability for damages.
