SB 1075 amends Oklahoma's Real Estate License Code to regulate real estate wholesalers. It defines "wholesaler" as anyone facilitating residential property sales primarily to transfer their interest for profit (including contract assignments and "double closings"). The bill requires wholesalers to provide specific disclosures to buyers and sellers, making contracts invalid without proper disclosure. It also mandates the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission to create required disclosure forms. This directly affects real estate professionals engaged in wholesale transactions.
HB 1086 modifies how state aid for public schools is calculated by changing the formula used to determine per-pupil revenue for school districts. It allows certain districts to apply specific exceptions when computing this revenue, affecting how much state funding they receive. The bill directly impacts school districts and the state's funding distribution process, ensuring adjustments for unique district circumstances. It became law on May 22, 2025, without the Governor's signature.
SB 1128 appropriates $100,000 from unallocated General Revenue funds for the State Board of Education to carry out its existing legal duties during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill declared an emergency to take immediate effect upon approval but failed on third reading with 42 votes in favor and 48 against on May 22, 2025. This procedural funding measure did not create new policies or directly affect specific programs or individuals beyond the State Board’s standard responsibilities.
SB 997, the Procurement Protection Act of 2025, prohibits Oklahoma state agencies and political subdivisions from purchasing goods or services from companies based in countries designated as "hostile" or "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) by the U.S. government, or controlled by such governments. It defines "foreign adversary companies" as those domiciled, headquartered, or majority-owned by entities in CPC countries, or controlled by their governments. The bill also exempts parent companies that derive less than 50% of their global revenue from foreign adversaries. This law directly affects state procurement contracts and non-U.S. companies meeting these criteria.
Senate Bill 745 extends the maximum age for students to complete high school, directly affecting students who may need additional time to earn their diploma. The bill also clarifies that a school board's designee can act where the board resides for specific provisions within the legislation. This measure aims to provide more flexibility for students to achieve high school completion. The bill became law in May 2025.
SB 993 establishes rules for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) conducting audits of pharmacies in Oklahoma. It requires PBMs to provide 14 days' notice (30 days for wholesale audits) before audits, prohibits recouping funds for simple clerical errors like typos, and mandates refunds to patients for any portion of recovered funds originally paid by them. The law also bans audits during the first seven days of any month without consent and requires PBMs to use licensed pharmacists for clinical audits. These provisions directly affect independent pharmacies and PBMs by standardizing audit processes and protecting pharmacies from financial penalties for unintentional mistakes.
This bill updates Oklahoma's Kratom Consumer Protection Act by removing the requirement for vendors to include federal food allergen labeling on kratom products. It clarifies definitions of "kratom leaf," "kratom product," and "total kratom alkaloids," maintaining limits such as a maximum 3.5% alkaloid content for kratom leaf and a 1% limit on 7-hydroxymitragynine. The law preserves existing rules prohibiting sales to minors under 18, requiring clear labeling of alkaloid levels, and banning synthetic kratom compounds. It became effective November 1, 2025, after passing without the governor's signature.
HB 1575 requires Oklahoma's Department of Human Services to study creating a single eligibility system for multiple public assistance programs, including SNAP, TANF, child care subsidies, LIHEAP, Medicaid, and WIC. The study must assess vendor options, initial and ongoing costs, and coordination across agencies like the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. It mandates a final report with findings and cost estimates to state leaders by a specified deadline. This bill does not change current programs but directs a feasibility assessment to potentially streamline access for applicants.
HB 1419 creates a new "street-legal utility vehicle" category in Oklahoma, defined by specific requirements like a 400cc+ engine, safety belts, and registration as a motor vehicle. It allows these registered vehicles to operate on U.S. highways in counties with populations under 75,000 (per 2020 Census), excluding interstates and highways with speed limits over 35 mph. The bill removes the need for an "M" endorsement on a driver’s license for operators aged 16+ but requires standard registration and safety equipment. This directly affects owners of utility vehicles seeking to use them on rural U.S. highways, expanding their legal operation beyond previous restrictions.
HB 1022 requires drivers convicted of failing to yield the right-of-way that causes a fatality or serious great bodily injury to pay a fee of up to $1,000, while those causing serious bodily injury (a less severe injury than great bodily injury or fatality) must pay $500. The collected fees fund the Motorcycle Safety and Education Program Revolving Fund, supporting youth motorcycle safety, defensive driving, and public awareness about impaired driving. Courts may also impose additional penalties, including a remedial driving course, a 90-day license suspension, or restitution between $3,000 and $10,000. The bill becomes effective November 1, 2025.
HB 1683 requires Oklahoma health benefit plans that cover contraceptive drugs to provide a three-month supply at the first use and a six-month supply at each subsequent use for the same drug, with only one six-month supply allowed every six months. This applies to plans offered, renewed, or issued on or after November 1, 2025, directly affecting insured individuals seeking contraceptive coverage and the insurance plans themselves. The bill does not mandate coverage for contraceptive drugs not intended for regular use and permits smaller supplies if a healthcare provider deems it medically appropriate. It standardizes access to contraceptive drugs under insurance plans without altering existing coverage requirements for other services.
SB 697 establishes a new "medical marijuana transporter license" category in Oklahoma for businesses moving medical marijuana products between facilities. It requires licensees to use a seed-to-sale tracking system, transport products in GPS-equipped locked containers labeled "Medical Marijuana," and maintain secure storage facilities. The bill also creates a $25 annual "transporter agent" license for employees handling shipments, with requirements including background checks and state residency verification. This directly affects medical marijuana businesses, research facilities, and logistics providers needing to transport products within the state.
