HB 3959: Technology; Protecting Consumers and Jobs from Predatory Pricing Act; personalized algorithmic pricing; consumer data; food retailers; effective date.

HB 3959 prohibits large food retailers (over 15,000 sq ft) from using personalized algorithmic pricing that targets consumers based on their data, including requiring clear disclosures like "THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA." It bans electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in these stores, mandating physical price tags instead, and prohibits collecting data on minors under 17 for pricing. The bill also forbids using protected class data (like race, gender, or disability) to set different prices for goods, preventing discriminatory pricing practices. These rules directly affect major grocery chains and aim to increase transparency in pricing strategies.

SB 2038: Health Insurance; requiring certain decisions to be made by licensed professional; prohibiting issuance of outcomes determined with artificial-intelligence; requiring disclosure notice by insurer. Emergency.

SB 2038 prohibits health insurance companies in Oklahoma from using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to make final decisions denying, reducing, or terminating coverage or benefits. Instead, all such decisions must be reviewed and issued by licensed healthcare providers, not AI. The bill requires insurers to disclose to patients that human providers - not AI - made the final decision, and mandates that insurers consult a patient’s treating provider on medical necessity before denying coverage. These requirements apply directly to health insurance issuers operating in Oklahoma and affect patients whose claims are reviewed by insurers.

SB 1734: Schools; creating the Oklahoma Responsible Technology in Schools Act; requiring development of guidance for use of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1734, the Oklahoma Responsible Technology in Schools Act, restricts AI tool use in public schools to educator-supervised settings, requiring all classroom AI applications to operate under teacher oversight ("human-in-the-loop") with educators reviewing outputs before use in instruction or assessment. It prohibits AI from determining high-stakes outcomes like grading, discipline, or student placement, and mandates school districts to adopt policies by the 2027-2028 school year covering data privacy, appropriate use, and transparency for families. The State Department of Education must develop guidance to help districts comply, while ensuring AI tools meet federal privacy laws (like FERPA) and minimize student data sharing. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and does not compel schools to adopt AI but sets guardrails for its responsible use.

HB 3299: Crimes and punishments; creating and disseminating a digitization or synthetic media; making certain acts unlawful; emergency.

HB 3299 prohibits creating and sharing synthetic media (such as deepfakes) that falsely depict a person's name, image, voice, or likeness without their written consent, unless used for news, commentary, satire, or parody. It requires political advertisements using such media during election periods (45 days before elections) to clearly disclose that the content is synthetic, with violations punishable as misdemeanors. For non-political use, creating synthetic media without consent is a misdemeanor, but becomes a felony if it causes over $25,000 in financial harm or is used for extortion. Victims can also seek civil damages, including legal fees, for violations.

HB 3544 prohibits AI chatbots with human-like features (e.g., claiming sentience or seeking emotional bonds) from being available to minors under 18. It requires developers to implement age verification systems and offer alternative versions without such features for minors. Therapeutic chatbots providing mental health support are exempt if they include clear disclaimers, require professional oversight, provide clinical evidence of safety, and maintain transparency. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $7,500 per intentional violation, with minors or parents able to seek damages of $100-$750 per incident. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

HB 1915 establishes rules for using artificial intelligence (AI) in Oklahoma healthcare. It requires hospitals and healthcare facilities (deployers) to ensure AI devices used for diagnosis or treatment are only operated by licensed physicians (qualified end-users) who review all AI outputs for accuracy. Deployers must create quality assurance programs, document all AI use - including overrides of AI recommendations - and maintain an AI governance group with physician input. The law mandates compliance with federal FDA guidelines, tracks performance through national registries when possible, and authorizes the State Department of Health to enforce penalties for violations, effective November 2025.
