HB 2126, the "Shelby Johnson and Logan Deardorff Act of 2025," requires physicians and patients to report medical conditions causing momentary lapses of consciousness (like seizures or mental conditions) that could impair driving ability to Oklahoma's Service Oklahoma. This directly affects drivers diagnosed with such conditions and their healthcare providers, who must submit written reports. The bill ensures these reports are not public records and can only be used in driver's license revocation or denial cases, while granting immunity to reporters acting in good faith. It modifies existing law to clarify reporting requirements and legal protections for those involved.

HB 2026 expands Oklahoma's existing Aircraft Engine Testing Development Grant Program to fund additional aeronautics technology projects. The bill directly affects Oklahoma-based companies and research entities developing aircraft engine testing capabilities by providing state grant funding. Key provisions include broadening the program's eligible activities beyond current scope to support new engine testing development initiatives. The bill takes effect immediately upon approval with an emergency designation, as approved by the Oklahoma House on March 5, 2025.
