Rep. Justin Humphrey

Maddy summaryHB 1236 modifies Oklahoma's sales tax exemption for motor vehicle sales to clarify how trade-in values affect tax calculations. It amends Section 1355 of the Oklahoma Statutes to specify that when a trade-in is included in a vehicle sale, the tax exemption applies only to the difference between the trade-in value and the new vehicle's price, not the full sales amount. This change directly affects car buyers, dealers, and tax collectors by adjusting how the 1.25% excise tax exemption is calculated during transactions involving trade-ins. The bill also confirms motor vehicle sales remain exempt from local sales and use taxes, as previously stated in Section 2106.

Maddy summaryHB 1315, titled the "Family Preservation Act of 2025," is a procedural bill that names the legislation and sets its effective date without creating new substantive policies. It specifies the bill will take effect on November 1, 2025, and clarifies it will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill does not outline any new requirements, programs, or changes affecting individuals or families. This is a standard naming and timing measure with no direct policy impact on residents or government operations.

Maddy summaryHB 1316 creates the Prosecuting Attorneys Oversight Commission to oversee and discipline district attorneys in Oklahoma. The Commission has two panels: a five-member investigative panel (handling investigations and administrative duties) and a three-member hearing panel (adjudicating cases and issuing disciplinary orders). It directly affects elected or appointed district attorneys by establishing procedures for investigations, disciplinary actions, and removal, with membership requiring specific qualifications like 10 years as an active Oklahoma Bar member for attorney roles. The bill specifies appointment processes by state officials and limits members to two full terms.

Maddy summaryHB 1339 amends Oklahoma law to update county commissioners' powers, primarily focusing on employee benefits and highway management. It establishes a new continuing education reimbursement program for county employees, requiring a minimum A/B grade for 100% tuition coverage (75% for passing grades) and a one-year service commitment after participation. The bill also clarifies procedures for relocating highways adjacent to state institutions and updates safety award limits ($250 maximum, excluding elected officials). These changes directly affect county employees seeking education benefits and county commissioners managing infrastructure and personnel policies.

Maddy summaryHB 1311 adds 103 specific chemicals and compounds - including fentanyl analogs, synthetic hallucinogens like psilocybin and LSD, and opioid derivatives - to Oklahoma's Schedule I list of controlled substances. This means possessing or distributing any of these listed substances would be illegal under Oklahoma law, directly affecting residents who might use, possess, or distribute them. The bill amends the state's Controlled Dangerous Substances Act by expanding the existing Schedule I list to include these newly designated chemicals. It does not include exemptions for medical or research use, placing all listed substances under the strictest legal restrictions. The bill focuses on adding specific chemical names to Schedule I without altering existing penalties or exemptions.

Maddy summaryHB 1342, titled the Oklahoma Public Health and Safety Reform Act of 2025, is a procedural bill that establishes the official name and citation for future public health and safety legislation in Oklahoma. The bill does not create new policies or change existing laws but instead provides a formal title for the state's public health and safety reform efforts. It sets the effective date of November 1, 2025, and is not intended to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. This measure affects state government operations by standardizing how future public health and safety laws are referenced and organized.

Maddy summaryHB 1337 names the "Oklahoma Legal Notice Act of 2025" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025. The bill is procedural, establishing the act's name and effective date without changing legal notice requirements or affecting any specific entities. It explicitly states the act will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. This is a routine naming and scheduling measure, not a substantive policy change.

Maddy summaryHB 1333 prioritizes relatives for adoption when a child is placed for adoption in Oklahoma. It requires courts to give preference to relatives by blood, marriage, or adoption (if willing, able, and eligible) over foster parents, unless the court determines a relative is unavailable after considering specific factors. Key provisions include: courts must weigh emotional bonds, stability, and the child’s long-term best interests; document reasons for choosing foster parents over relatives; and not disqualify relatives for minor past issues like non-abuse-related misdemeanors. The bill affects children in foster care, their relatives, and foster parents, taking effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1328 increases the salary of Oklahoma game wardens by 20% for those employed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation for at least six months. The raise applies to their salary as of June 20, 2025, and takes effect on July 1, 2025. This bill directly affects current game wardens meeting the employment duration requirement, providing a specific compensation adjustment without broader policy changes.

Maddy summaryHB 1334 modifies health insurance premium contributions for retirees from Oklahoma's public retirement systems. It requires non-education retirees (excluding those in defined contribution plans after November 2015) to have their retirement systems pay up to $210 monthly toward health insurance premiums, capped at the actual premium cost. Retirees must cover any remaining premium amount not paid by the system. This applies to retirees receiving benefits from systems like the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System (OPEERS) and the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System, effective upon the bill's enactment.
