HB 2094: Revenue and taxation; Oklahoma Revenue and Taxation Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 2094 creates a $250 tax credit for eligible small businesses in Oklahoma that use western redcedar trees as part of their storefront construction or design. The credit applies to taxable years beginning January 1, 2026, and is available to businesses defined as "small" under Oklahoma law (Title 75, Section 502). The credit cannot reduce a business's income tax liability below zero.

SJR 26: Constitutional amendment; creating the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.

SJR 26 proposes a constitutional amendment creating Oklahoma's "Taxpayer's Bill of Rights" (Section 44 of Article X), requiring voter approval for new local taxes and debt. It directly affects cities, counties, and school districts (referred to as "districts") by limiting annual spending growth to local property value increases or student enrollment changes, mandating refunds with 10% annual interest for excess tax collections, and requiring specific voter disclosures before tax or debt measures. Key provisions include prohibiting new property transfer taxes, blocking local income taxes, and requiring districts to mail detailed budget notices to voters 30 days before elections. The amendment would take effect January 1, 2028, if approved by voters.
