HB 3091: Counties and county officers; elected county officials; principal residence; dereliction of duty; effective date.

HB 3091 requires elected county officials in Oklahoma (such as commissioners, sheriffs, or clerks) to live in the county they serve for at least 70% of their term. Officials who fail to meet this requirement would be deemed in "dereliction of duty," allowing county commissioners or the district attorney to initiate removal proceedings. The bill uses the existing legal definition of "principal residence" (from Section 131.1 of Title 19) to determine compliance. It will take effect on November 1, 2026.

HB 4190 creates a Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit within Oklahoma's State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) to investigate cyber-enabled crimes, financial fraud, and digital evidence cases.

SB 1518: State government; providing that no salary adjustment by Commission increase the emoluments for certain office in certain circumstance. Effective date.

SB 1518 prevents the Statewide Official Compensation Commission from increasing the salary of any elected state office held by a current Oklahoma state legislator. This applies specifically to positions including Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and others listed in the bill, blocking any salary increase above the level in effect as of January 1, 2025. The bill updates Oklahoma law to clarify this restriction and becomes effective on November 1, 2026. It does not affect salary adjustments for offices not held by current legislators.

SB 1705: Cities and towns; prohibiting political subdivisions from spending public funds to pay nonprofit organizations to pay defendants' bail. Effective date.

SB 1705 prohibits Oklahoma cities and towns from using public funds to pay nonprofit organizations that collect public donations to cover defendants' bail bonds. It directly affects local governments and nonprofits that handle bail payments through public funding. The bill allows taxpayers or residents to sue to stop such spending and recover attorney fees if they win the case. The law takes effect November 1, 2026, and would be codified under Oklahoma Statutes Title 11, Section 27-117.2.

SB 1601: Motor vehicles; requiring certain distribution of grant or scholarship to be made in certain proportion. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1601 requires that state and federal grants for commercial driver training courses be distributed proportionally to all qualifying public and private schools based on each school's share of available student openings relative to the state's total demand. This means funding is allocated according to how many spots each school offers, rather than favoring any specific institution. The bill directly affects all commercial driver training schools in Oklahoma receiving these grants. It takes effect on July 1, 2026, and does not create new regulations but modifies grant distribution rules.

SB 1829: Excise tax; providing exemption for certain manufactured homes from excise tax on motor vehicles. Effective date.

SB 1829 exempts manufactured home owners in Oklahoma from paying the state's excise tax if they provide proof of current year property tax payment. It directly affects individuals purchasing or owning manufactured homes who already pay ad valorem (property) tax, requiring them to submit a Manufactured Home Certificate (OTC Form 936) or equivalent proof. The bill amends tax law to replace the standard excise tax calculation (based on 50% of retail price for new homes) with this exemption for qualifying homeowners. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1494: School district employees; requiring appropriation of certain funding for flexible benefit allowances for school district employees of certain districts. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1494 requires Oklahoma's Legislature to annually appropriate funds for a flexible benefit allowance for school district employees. This allowance, which can be used to pay for health insurance or taken as taxable cash, applies to employees in districts meeting specific instructional requirements: those with 170+ days of in-person classroom instruction receive full funding, while others get a minimum set amount based on 2026 standards. The bill mandates that school districts establish a cafeteria plan for employees to access these benefits and clarifies the allowance does not count toward retirement contributions or salary calculations. It takes effect July 1, 2026.

SB 2121: Public health and safety; prohibiting sale distribution or production of cultivated meat products. Effective date

This Oklahoma bill bans the production, sale, and distribution of cultivated meat (meat grown from animal cells in laboratories) within the state. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors, and food businesses selling such products could face license suspension or revocation by the State Department of Health. The law exempts research on cultivated meat conducted by government agencies, universities, or their partners. It also updates labeling rules for plant-based and insect-based products to require clear terms like "lab-grown" or "plant-based" to avoid misleading terms such as "beef" or "chicken."

SB 2146: Ad valorem tax; homestead exemption; modifying definitions. Effective date.

SB 2146 clarifies and updates Oklahoma's homestead tax exemption rules, affecting homeowners who qualify for property tax relief. It sets a 160-acre limit for rural homesteads (including agricultural land) and a 1-acre limit for urban homesteads, while specifying that agricultural land use categories are excluded from urban exemptions. The bill adds a special provision allowing tornado victims (from 2013 onward with a Presidential disaster declaration) to claim exemptions using simplified ownership documentation if they rebuilt elsewhere in Oklahoma. It also ensures parents living with children on jointly owned property can claim the full exemption. The changes take effect January 1, 2027.

SB 102: Income tax; excluding certain compensation to certain nonresidents; prohibiting requirement of employers to withhold taxes from certain compensation. Effective date.

SB 102 modifies Oklahoma's income tax code to exclude certain income from nonresident workers who spend limited time in the state. Specifically, it excludes compensation for nonresidents working in Oklahoma for less than 30 days per year if their total earnings from that work are $20,000 or less, effective for tax years starting in 2026. This applies directly to temporary workers, contractors, or short-term business visitors with minimal Oklahoma presence. The change simplifies tax calculations for these individuals by removing their limited-service income from Oklahoma taxable income.
