HB 3661: Revenue and taxation; sales tax; exemptions; commercial forestry equipment; effective date.

HB 3661 expands Oklahoma's sales tax exemptions for agricultural products and inputs. It specifically exempts sales of farm-produced goods (like produce and dairy from owner-operated farms), livestock, feed, agricultural fertilizer, machinery, and supplies directly used in farming or ranching operations. The bill requires purchasers to provide written certification confirming items will be used in agricultural production, with false certifications subject to penalties. These exemptions apply only to items used for commercial farming or ranching, not personal gardens or pet-related activities. The changes aim to reduce tax burdens for Oklahoma agricultural producers and their supply chain.

HB 4346: Revenue and taxation; sales tax; agriculture exemption; proof of eligibility; effective date.

HB 4346 modifies Oklahoma's sales tax exemption for agricultural purchases by requiring specific proof of eligibility.

The bill also allows vendors to honor out-of-state permits from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico, or Missouri for qualifying agricultural purchases. Additionally, it requires permit holders to notify vendors of non-exempt purchases to maintain their exemption, with a $500 penalty for misuse on non-qualifying items.

SB 2053: Excise tax; authorizing county and municipality to levy excise tax on medical marijuana; setting maximum rate of taxation. Effective date.

SB 2053 allows Oklahoma counties and municipalities to impose a local excise tax of up to 10% on medical marijuana sales. Counties must first gain voter approval through a special election (either via a county commission resolution or a 5% voter initiative petition), and cannot hold another election for six months if the tax fails. Municipalities may similarly levy the tax under the same 10% cap, with all tax proceeds required to fund public safety and infrastructure projects. The tax duration must be specified during the voter approval process, and the bill takes effect November 1, 2026. This bill directly affects medical marijuana businesses operating in participating localities and local government revenue streams.
