HB 4064 modifies Oklahoma's tax calculation rules for income tax purposes. It adjusts how state tax liability is calculated by adding state/local interest income not federally exempt, deducting amounts federal law prohibits taxing, and changing how businesses can carry forward net operating losses (e.g., limiting loss carrybacks to two years for certain tax years). These changes apply directly to Oklahoma taxpayers, including both individuals and corporations, when filing state income tax returns. The bill updates existing tax code provisions to align with federal rules and clarify income allocation methods.
HB 3685 is a procedural bill that names itself the "Campaign Finance Act of 2026" and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026. It does not create new campaign finance rules or alter existing regulations; it is simply a non-codified naming convention for the bill itself. The bill serves only to establish its own title and effective date without implementing any substantive policy changes. This type of bill is typically used for administrative or procedural purposes rather than enacting new law.
HB 3628 expands Oklahoma's community-based services for people with developmental disabilities, including those with Prader-Willi syndrome. It requires the Department of Human Services to establish programs providing health-related services (like basic nursing care and medication administration), supportive daily living assistance, and home-delivered meals. The bill mandates these services be administered by the Developmental Disabilities Service Division and specifies eligibility for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities. It becomes effective November 1, 2026, and directs the Department to seek federal funding for these programs.
This bill establishes the Agriculture Modernization Act of 2026 as a standalone law that will not be added to the official Oklahoma Statutes. It sets a specific effective date of November 1, 2026, for when the act begins to apply. The legislation does not create new agricultural policies or regulations but serves primarily to name and date the act for future reference. It affects agricultural stakeholders in Oklahoma by providing a formal citation for the modernization initiative.
HB 3772 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Controlled Dangerous Substances Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It does not create new regulations or alter existing controlled substances laws; instead, it formally designates the name for the upcoming legislation. The bill explicitly states it will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. This is a standard naming and effective date bill with no substantive policy changes.
HB 3811 names the legislation as the "Elections Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. This is a procedural bill with no substantive policy changes to election rules or voter procedures. It does not directly affect voters, election officials, or existing election processes. The bill serves only to formally establish the act's title and implementation date.
HB 3591 amends Oklahoma's property tax exemption rules for charitable housing, correcting the misleading title that references "affordable housing." It specifically targets nonprofit housing properties claiming tax exemption under Section 2887, requiring them to maintain a 75% average occupancy rate for multi-family properties (or full occupancy for single-family homes) to retain exemption. Owners must submit annual occupancy reports to county assessors by December 15, with failure to meet the threshold resulting in loss of tax exemption for the following year. This bill directly affects nonprofit housing providers operating under IRS 501(c)(3) status that rely on property tax exemptions, altering their compliance obligations without creating new housing programs.
HB 3961 creates the "Oklahoma Affordable Housing Tax Credit Policy Act of 2026," establishing a new tax credit program to support affordable housing development. The bill directly affects developers and investors who construct or rehabilitate qualifying affordable housing projects in Oklahoma. Key provisions authorize the state to issue tax credits against income tax liabilities for projects meeting specific affordability and location criteria. The program will become effective November 1, 2026, though the bill text does not specify credit amounts, eligibility rules, or administrative details beyond its framework.
HB 3912 requires health insurance plans in Oklahoma (including the State and Education Employees Group Health Insurance Plan) to cover scalp cooling systems for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to prevent hair loss, including the cost of the system, supplies, and monitoring. The bill specifies that scalp cooling is considered supportive cancer care, not cosmetic or experimental, and coverage remains subject to standard cost-sharing like other benefits. Plans must notify enrollees about this coverage by December 1, 2026, and the law excludes small employer plans (50 or fewer employees) and federal health plans, while also mandating Oklahoma Medicaid cover scalp cooling for eligible recipients. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026.
HB 3971 removes the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority's (OTA) power to use condemnation (the legal process to take private property for public projects without owner consent) for acquiring land for turnpike construction. The bill amends specific Oklahoma statutes (69 O.S. 2021, Sections 1706, 1722, and 1708) to eliminate this authority, requiring the OTA to negotiate land purchases with property owners instead. This change directly affects the OTA's ability to expand turnpike infrastructure without voluntary agreements from landowners. The bill does not alter the OTA's other powers, such as building and operating turnpikes at designated locations listed in the statutes.
HB 3641 is a procedural bill that names the "State Government Act of 2026" and sets its effective date for November 1, 2026. It does not create new laws or alter existing policies; instead, it designates a title for administrative purposes and specifies when the act takes effect. The bill is noncodified, meaning it will not be included in Oklahoma’s official statutes. This act affects no specific individuals or groups, as it solely establishes a reference name and timeline for future state government operations.
HB 3771 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Criminal Procedure Act of 2026" and sets its effective date for November 1, 2026. It does not change existing criminal procedure laws or create new legal requirements; instead, it establishes a title for future codification (though it specifies the act "shall not be codified" in Oklahoma Statutes). The bill directly affects how future criminal procedure laws might be referenced but has no immediate impact on court procedures, rights, or obligations for residents or legal actors. This is purely an administrative naming measure with no substantive policy changes.
