HB 3890 amends Oklahoma's criminal code to update the legal definition of who is exempt from criminal liability due to specific circumstances. It revises the list of exceptions (such as for children under 14, individuals with intellectual disabilities or mental illness who couldn't understand wrongfulness, and those acting under involuntary subjection) without adding new categories. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, and affects criminal cases where defendants may claim these specific exemptions.
HB 3737 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Health Care Reform Act of 2026" for reference purposes but contains no substantive policy changes.

The bill is non-codified (not part of Oklahoma's official statutes) and serves only as a naming convention. It does not directly affect residents, providers, or health care systems, as it contains no operational provisions.
HB 3911 directs Oklahoma's Medicaid agency to amend its federal 1915(c) waiver with CMS to expand coverage for postsecondary support (such as job training or education programs) under Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers.

The bill requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to formally update the waiver agreement with federal authorities. The amendment would take effect November 1, 2026.

HB 3847 prevents the sale of single-family homes for unpaid property taxes in Oklahoma counties with over 100,000 residents, specifically protecting elderly or disabled homeowners. It requires homeowners aged 65+ or classified as totally disabled (with medical proof), living in their home (not renting it), earning below federal poverty income guidelines, and owning property valued under $180,000 to qualify for an exemption. Homeowners must apply annually to the county treasurer with proof of eligibility, though taxes, interest, and penalties continue to accrue during the exemption.

HB 3812 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Professions and Occupations Act of 2026" and sets its effective date for November 1, 2026.

The bill specifies it will not be codified into the Oklahoma Statutes. This is a formal naming measure with no direct policy impact on professionals or the public.
HB 3806 creates a tax credit for Oklahoma businesses that accept credit or debit card payments. It allows eligible businesses to claim a credit equal to 100% of their credit card processing fees that exceed 2% of total transaction volume. The credit reduces state income tax liability but cannot lower it below zero, and unused portions may be carried forward for up to five years. This applies to taxable years beginning January 1, 2027, and affects businesses like retailers, restaurants, and service providers processing card payments. The credit is allocated to business owners (e.g., partners, shareholders) if the business is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes.

No specific provisions or affected groups are detailed in the provided text.
HB 3594 modifies Oklahoma's Governmental Tort Claims Act by clarifying the definition of "occurrence" and adding a requirement that courts award reasonable costs and expenses to plaintiffs in certain property damage claims against government entities. It directly affects property owners who file lawsuits alleging government negligence causing property damage, such as damage from public infrastructure or government operations. The key provision mandates that if a plaintiff wins a property damage case, they may recover their legal fees and related expenses from the government defendant. This change aims to make it more feasible for individuals to pursue valid claims without facing excessive legal costs. The bill applies specifically to property damage proceedings, not personal injury or other claim types.
HB 3668 is a procedural bill that names the "Transportation Reform Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026.

The bill directly affects no specific groups or programs, as it serves only to establish the act's title and implementation timeline. This is a standard naming and effective date provision common in early legislative stages.
