SB 1217: Real estate brokers; prohibiting requirement to enter into certain agreements. Effective date.

SB 1217 prohibits real estate brokers from requiring a written brokerage agreement before showing a property to potential buyers, renters, or lessees. This directly affects brokers and homebuyers/renters by removing a common pre-showing paperwork step. The bill adds new language to Oklahoma law stating brokers "shall not be required to enter into a written brokerage agreement prior to showing real estate," while allowing managing brokers to require such agreements for their own associates. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

HB 2951: Prisons and reformatories; authorizing the transport of inmate to certain facility; repealer; effective date.

HB 2951 updates Oklahoma law governing the transfer of sentenced inmates from county facilities to state correctional centers. It requires sheriffs or detention centers to transport individuals sentenced to prison (not county jail) to specific state facilities like the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center or Mabel Bassett Correctional Center, along with required documents including court records, medical information, and presentence reports. The bill also establishes reimbursement for sheriffs' transport costs (capped at $30/hour) and mandates quarterly reporting to legislative committees. These changes directly affect county law enforcement agencies, inmates being transferred, and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

SB 1314: Groundwater use; increasing cap of certain fund related to commercial drilling and plugging. Effective date.

SB 1314 increases the maximum balance of the Well Drillers and Pump Installers Remedial Action Indemnity Fund from $50,000 to $100,000 and raises the allowable expenditure per well or borehole from $10,000 to $25,000. This bill directly affects commercial well drillers and pump installers in Oklahoma, who pay annual fees that fund the account. The increased limits allow the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to cover more extensive remedial actions needed to protect groundwater from non-compliant or abandoned wells. The fund remains dedicated solely to groundwater protection, with no changes to licensing requirements or enforcement procedures.

SB 2112: Open pasture roads; modifying designation of open pasture roads. Effective date.

SB 2112 establishes rules for designating county-maintained roads as "open pasture roads" if they meet specific criteria: cattle guards at access points, single ownership on both sides of the road, and no fencing. Property owners must apply to county commissioners by November 1, 2025, to designate eligible roads, with annual renewal required to maintain the status. Once designated, property owners and livestock owners are not liable for damages from vehicle collisions with livestock on these roads - drivers must pay for damages instead. The law applies only to roads meeting all criteria by the 2025 deadline and takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1966: Memorial highway and bridge designations; designating various memorial roads and bridges. Effective date.

This bill names a specific bridge on U.S. Highway 70 over Winters Creek (approximately 3 miles northeast of Bennington in Bryan County) as the "Clyde and Grace Cook Memorial Bridge."

SB 2170: Child custody; requiring supervised visitation for persons accused of sexual abuse of a child. Effective date.

SB 2170 requires courts to mandate supervised visitation between a child and any parent accused of sexual abuse of that child, directly affecting children in custody cases and the accused parent. The bill establishes the "Oklahoma Child Supervised Visitation Program," requiring background checks (including national criminal history within one year) for volunteers and prohibiting untrained individuals from overseeing visits. It mandates protocols ensuring volunteers can monitor all interactions and includes safety measures like time logs and court-approved settings if a parent shows violent behavior. The law applies to all Oklahoma courts and aims to prioritize child safety during custody proceedings involving abuse allegations.

SB 201: Schools; modifying minimum salary schedule for certain certified personnel. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 201 establishes a mandatory minimum salary schedule for Oklahoma public school teachers beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. It sets specific annual salary floors based on years of experience and education level (e.g., $50,000 for a bachelor's degree with 0 experience), requiring school districts to meet these amounts through salary or fringe benefits. The bill defines "fringe benefits" to include retirement contributions (excluding certain state-mandated portions) and mandates written notice to teachers if districts propose salaries below the minimum. It also standardizes how teaching experience (including out-of-state, military, or Department of Defense service) is counted for salary increments, while prohibiting credit for more than five years of such experience.

SB 1379: Attorney General; establishing certain pilot program; stating eligibility requirements; Victims of Human Trafficking and Prevention Revolving Fund. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1379 establishes a two-year pilot program through Oklahoma's Attorney General's Office to provide grants to private nonprofit organizations supporting victims of sexual and labor trafficking. The program funds specific services like emergency shelter, mental health counseling, legal assistance, job training, and medical care - directly benefiting trafficking victims through partner organizations. Eligible organizations must demonstrate experience serving trafficking victims, maintain confidentiality, and use grants primarily for direct services (not exceeding 15% for administrative costs). Recipients must submit quarterly reports on services provided and outcomes, with the Attorney General compiling annual program evaluations for state leaders. The bill expands allowable uses of the Victims of Human Trafficking Fund to support this initiative.

This bill from the Oklahoma House of Representatives formally recognizes May 10 through May 15, 2026, as National Police Week and May 15, 2026, as Peace Officers Memorial Day within the state. The resolution honors law enforcement officers who serve with integrity and acknowledges those who have died or been injured while performing their duties. It specifically expresses condolences to the families of six Oklahoma officers who lost their lives in the line of duty during the previous year.

HB 3244: Crimes and punishments; modifying elements of certain unlawful acts; aggravated identity theft; effective date.

HB 3244 modifies Oklahoma law to strengthen penalties for patterns of criminal activity and exploitation of vulnerable individuals. It expands "pattern of criminal offenses" to include online acts (via social media, AI, or cellular networks) and adds identity theft to the list of crimes that can form a pattern, punishable by a Class D1 felony ($25,000 fine or imprisonment). The bill also increases penalties for exploiting elderly/disabled adults: theft of $100,000+ becomes a Class C1 felony, while lesser amounts trigger a Class C2 felony, with enhanced penalties for repeat exploitation. It directly affects criminals committing multiple offenses across locations or online, and those exploiting vulnerable groups (elderly, disabled, homeless, or minors) through coercion or deception.

HB 3320: Sunsets; removing sunsets from certain agencies, boards, and commissions; repealing the Oklahoma Sunset Act; repealers; emergency.

HB 3320 repeals Oklahoma's Sunset Act, which automatically terminated state agencies, boards, and commissions after fixed periods unless reauthorized by the legislature. The bill removes automatic termination dates for specific entities like the Oklahoma Abstractors Board, State Board of Examiners of Certified Shorthand Reporters, and the Board of Chiropractic, making their continued operation permanent without future legislative approval. This change eliminates the need for periodic reauthorization votes on these bodies. The bill also repeals related statutes that were part of the Sunset Act framework.
