Maddy summaryHB 1331 strengthens penalties for trespassing on or damaging critical infrastructure in Oklahoma. It increases misdemeanor fines to $1,000 or 6 months jail for unauthorized entry, and felony penalties to $100,000 or 10 years for damaging equipment. The law defines "critical infrastructure" broadly to include power plants, water facilities, pipelines, cell towers, and prisons. It also imposes 10x fines on organizations conspiring in these crimes. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1306 expands criminal penalties for adults who encourage minors to join criminal street gangs or foreign terrorist organizations. It makes such actions a felony punishable by up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine for first offenses, with longer sentences for repeat violations. The bill defines "criminal street gangs" by listing 18 specific crimes (like robbery, drug trafficking, or assault) and classifies membership in such groups as a felony. It directly affects adults who recruit minors into gangs or terrorist organizations, and also treats members of foreign terrorist organizations as public nuisances under Section 1191. The law modifies existing Oklahoma statutes to strengthen penalties for gang-related activities involving minors.

Maddy summaryHB 1320 creates Oklahoma's "Child Trafficking Protection Act of 2025," amending Section 748 of state law to define and criminalize human trafficking for labor or commercial sex. It prohibits using coercion (such as threats, debt bondage, or controlling documents) to force individuals into labor or commercial sex acts, with specific focus on protecting minors under 18. The bill significantly increases penalties: trafficking involving minors carries a mandatory life sentence without parole, up to $250,000 in fines, and requires restitution to victims. These changes take effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1329 increases pay for Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation park rangers. It requires a 20% salary raise for rangers employed at least six months by July 1, 2025, based on their June 20, 2025, salary. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, declared an emergency to address public safety needs. This directly affects current park rangers meeting the employment duration requirement.

Maddy summaryHB 1312 would make it a felony for individuals unlawfully present in the United States to be arrested for a criminal offense in Oklahoma, punishable by up to life in prison. Courts can instead suspend prosecution and order the person to be repatriated to their home country, with the Department of Corrections arranging transportation via U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If the person returns to Oklahoma after repatriation and is arrested again, the court can revoke the suspended sentence and require them to serve the full original prison term. This bill directly affects undocumented individuals arrested for crimes in Oklahoma, altering sentencing options and repatriation procedures.

Maddy summaryHB 1310 is a procedural bill that renames Oklahoma's Department of Corrections to the "Department of Corruption" throughout state statutes. It requires all references to "Department of Corrections," "Director of the Department of Corrections," and "State Board of Corrections" to be updated to the new names, effective November 1, 2025. The bill does not change any policies, funding, or operations - only the official nomenclature used in legal texts. This is a purely administrative renaming with no substantive policy impact. The bill was introduced on February 3, 2025, and referred to the Rules Committee.

Maddy summaryHB 1449 prohibits most covered entities - including state agencies, schools, hospitals, employers, and businesses - from requiring any COVID-19 vaccine as a condition for employment, education, licensure, or access to facilities. It bans discrimination against unvaccinated employees and shields covered entities from civil liability if they comply with the ban. The law specifically targets mandates for vaccines preventing SARS-CoV-2 variants or COVID-19, applying broadly to any entity receiving state/federal funds or operating under state licensure. This bill directly affects workplaces, educational institutions, and healthcare providers by removing vaccine requirements and related penalties.

Maddy summaryHB 1146 allows Oklahoma counties to levy a severance tax of up to $0.10 per ton on surface-mined materials (excluding coal) for specific public projects. It requires voter approval via election or initiative petition before implementation and exempts materials extracted by individuals for personal use, agricultural limestone, and sand used in fracking. Revenue collected must be split equally: 50% for county road and bridge improvements, and 50% for municipal infrastructure projects based on population. The bill also mandates 60-day notice of tax rate changes by the Oklahoma Tax Commission and prohibits counties from imposing additional fees on mining operations. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1238 prevents Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture from requiring livestock to have RFID tags for federal disease traceability, as mandated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bill directs the department to negotiate agreements (compacts) with other livestock-producing states to allow interstate livestock sales without RFID tags. These compacts must be submitted to the Oklahoma legislature for approval before implementation. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025, impacting Oklahoma livestock producers and interstate agricultural commerce.

Maddy summaryHB 1343 abolishes Oklahoma's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and transfers all its duties, property, records, and funds to the State Department of Corrections. This bill directly affects the former mental health department's staff and operations, as well as the State Department of Corrections, which will assume responsibility for all related services and assets. Key provisions require the immediate transfer of all real and personal property, including books, records, and funds, with the change taking effect July 1, 2025. The bill includes an emergency clause allowing it to take effect upon approval.
