HB 1646: Professions and occupations; real estate appraisers; educational requirements as specified by the Appraiser Qualifications Board of the Appraisal Foundation; effective date.

HB 1646 revises the educational requirements for real estate appraisers in Oklahoma.

Additionally, it removes the requirement for the Real Estate Appraiser Board to establish the cost of classes for Trainee Appraisers. This bill directly affects individuals seeking to become or maintain their certification as real estate appraisers in the state.

HB 1199: Legal tender; gold and silver; specie; tax; regulation; contract; attorney general; Oklahoma court; debts; effective date.

House Bill 1199 designates gold and silver coins issued by the United States government as legal tender in Oklahoma, alongside other forms of specie. The bill clarifies that specie, which includes gold and silver coins or refined bullion, will not be characterized as personal property for taxation or regulatory purposes. It specifies that exchanging legal tender or buying/selling specie will not create tax liability. Additionally, the bill directs Oklahoma courts to enforce specific performance for contracts that explicitly designate a type of specie as tender, though no one can be compelled to accept or tender specie unless by law or contract. This legislation affects individuals and businesses in Oklahoma dealing with gold and silver, and Oklahoma courts handling related contractual disputes.

HB 2115: Public assistance programs; transferring certain programs to the Department of Human Services; effective date.

HB 2115 transfers the administration of several public assistance programs related to energy conservation and home weatherization to the Department of Human Services. The bill amends existing statutes to shift responsibilities for the Energy Conservation Assistance Fund, the Energy Conservation Loan Fund, and the Weatherization Revolving Fund. Under this change, the Department of Human Services will oversee grant disbursement, eligibility determination for homeowners, contractor monitoring, and loan repayments for these programs. These programs primarily assist low-income elderly and handicapped individuals with home weatherization improvements. This act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.

HB 1197: Public finance; State Treasurer; transaction cards; fee structure; bullion; effective date.

HB 1197 authorizes the State Treasurer to issue transaction cards to Oklahoma citizens, allowing them to make purchases debited from gold and silver deposits held in a bullion depository. The Treasurer's office would establish procedures for sharing account information and develop a fee structure for using these services. The bill specifies that deposits of gold and silver in the bullion depository and transactions made with the card are considered legal tender and an exchange of currency. This aims to provide an alternative financial mechanism for citizens using precious metals.

HB 1427: Revenue and taxation; clean burning motor vehicle fuels; insurance premium tax credits.

House Bill 1427 modifies Oklahoma's tax credits for investments in clean-burning motor vehicle fuel property. For tax years up to 2028, it continues to allow a one-time credit against state income tax for qualified investments. A key change is the introduction of an alternative option, allowing credits for investments made on or after the bill's effective date to be claimed against state insurance premium taxes. This applies to equipment for modifying vehicles to run on fuels like compressed natural gas or hydrogen, new alternative fuel vehicles, and public fueling infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging stations. The credit amounts vary based on the type of property and vehicle weight.

HB 1200: Revenue; taxation rates; income; exemptions; deductions; effective date.

HB 1200 modifies Oklahoma's revenue certification and allocation processes for specific taxes. It requires the State Board of Equalization to certify five-year average revenues from oil, natural gas, and corporate income taxes, directing excess amounts above these averages into the Revenue Stabilization Fund and, for corporate income, partially into the Constitutional Reserve Fund. The bill also establishes a mechanism where sustained state tax revenue growth exceeding $400 million (adjusted for inflation) could trigger future reductions in marginal income tax rates. This affects state revenue management and could eventually impact individual taxpayers through changes in income tax rates.

SB 2: Wind energy; providing setback requirements for certain affected counties; waiver; referral of question to eligible voters; zoning; construction; exemptions; database.

SB 2 establishes new setback requirements for wind energy facilities in Oklahoma. After June 1, 2025, wind towers must be at least 0.25 nautical miles from residential homes and nonparticipating property boundaries, while existing rules require 1.5 nautical miles from airports, schools, and hospitals. The bill also requires wind developers to obtain FAA "Determination of No Hazard" clearance and resolve military impact concerns before construction, with penalties up to $1,500 per day for noncompliance. These changes directly affect wind energy developers and property owners near proposed facilities, aiming to balance renewable energy development with community and military safety.

HB 2288: Teachers' Retirement System; postretirement employment; earning limitations; retired member; earnings without reduction in retirement benefits; effective date; emergency.

HB 2288 modifies the postretirement employment rules for members of the Oklahoma Teachers' Retirement System. It allows retired classified or nonclassified public school personnel to be re-employed by a public school in duties ordinarily performed by such roles and earn unlimited annualized income without their retirement benefits being reduced. The bill maintains a 60-day waiting period before re-employment and existing earnings limitations for other retired members for 36 months after their retirement date. This directly affects retired public school employees who wish to return to work in specific non-teaching capacities.

SB 646: Judicial and federal official security and privacy; creating the Oklahoma Federal Official and Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2025. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 646, known as the "Oklahoma Federal Officials Security Act of 2025," aims to protect the personal information of current federally elected officials in Oklahoma and their immediate families. The bill allows these officials to request state agencies to mark specific "covered information," such as home addresses, personal phone numbers, and financial details, as private. State agencies are then prohibited from publicly posting this information and must remove it from publicly available content within 72 hours of receiving a request. It also enables the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to manage these privacy requests on behalf of officials.
