HB 1746: Children; defining terms; safety plan; Office of Juvenile Affairs; approval or denial; transmission; effective date.

HB 1746 changes Oklahoma's juvenile code to require jury trials in specific parental rights termination cases. It mandates a jury trial when a court first determines a child is neglected (deprived) and simultaneously requests termination, or after a prior deprivation finding, the state or child files a termination request. The bill sets strict timelines: courts must schedule jury trials within 30 days and hold them within six months, unless justified exceptions exist. This directly affects parents facing termination, child welfare agencies, and courts handling these cases by altering the trial process.

HB 3048: Insurance; Unauthorized Insurers and Surplus Lines Insurance Act; surplus lines insurer; brokers; producers; agents; repealer; effective date.

HB 3048 amends Oklahoma's insurance laws to clarify rules for surplus lines insurance (coverage from insurers not licensed in Oklahoma). It defines key terms like "home state" (determined by business headquarters or premium allocation) and requires surplus lines brokers to be licensed in the insured's home state, not Oklahoma. The bill updates procedures for purchasing coverage, removes outdated requirements for licensees, and specifies that nonadmitted insurers must provide clear policy notices to insureds. These changes primarily affect insurance brokers, agents, and businesses purchasing specialized coverage outside standard insurance channels.

HB 3081: Professions and occupations; age limits; license; effective date.

HB 3081 lowers the minimum age requirement for individuals supervising fire extinguisher business operations in Oklahoma from 21 to 18 years. The bill amends existing licensing rules to require applicants to provide evidence of this age qualification, along with other standard requirements like background checks, fingerprints, and proof of no disqualifying criminal history. It directly affects business owners and supervisors seeking or renewing fire extinguisher industry licenses. The changes take effect November 1, 2026.

HB 3172: Financial institutions; creating the Fair Banking Act; prohibiting discrimination in provision of financial services against persons; civil action; effective date.

HB 3172, the "Fair Banking Act," prohibits Oklahoma banks and payment processors with over $100 billion in assets from discriminating against customers based on protected religion, speech, lawful economic activity, or bias toward these factors. It requires institutions to provide a specific written explanation within 30 days if they deny, restrict, or terminate services like checking accounts, loans, or credit cards. Customers can file a civil lawsuit if they believe discrimination occurred, and the law aligns with federal credit protections while adding new safeguards. The bill excludes insurance and investment services from its scope.

HB 3338: Professions and occupations; creating the Swimming Pool Contractor Licensing Act; Construction Industries Board to implement; terms; fees; effective date.

HB 3338 names the "Oklahoma Professions and Occupations Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It specifies the act will not be included in Oklahoma's official legal code (noncodification). This is a purely procedural bill with no substantive changes to licensing rules, professional standards, or regulations for occupations. It affects no specific professions or individuals, as it only establishes the act's name and effective date.

HB 3297: Wreckers and towing; creating the Oklahoma Wrecker and Towing Services Revolving Fund; creating the Oklahoma Wrecker Services Division within the Department of Labor; effective date.

HB 3297 requires highway remediation and cleanup companies operating in Oklahoma to maintain $3 million in liability insurance with pollution coverage, including completed operations coverage. It mandates these companies publish a clear, annual price list online for their top 50 frequently billed services, including standard charges and surcharges. The bill also establishes a lien system allowing companies to claim payment for nonconsensual roadside cleanup services, requiring written notice within 10 days and formal filing within 30 days to enforce the lien. Additionally, it amends towing fee rules to align with existing Corporation Commission rate structures for wrecker services.

HB 3544: Technology; artificial intelligence; companions; minors; safety; civil penalties; effective date.

HB 3544 prohibits AI chatbots with human-like features (e.g., claiming sentience or seeking emotional bonds) from being available to minors under 18. It requires developers to implement age verification systems and offer alternative versions without such features for minors. Therapeutic chatbots providing mental health support are exempt if they include clear disclaimers, require professional oversight, provide clinical evidence of safety, and maintain transparency. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $7,500 per intentional violation, with minors or parents able to seek damages of $100-$750 per incident. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
