Rep. Justin Humphrey

Maddy summaryHB 3207 repeals Section 325.20 of Oklahoma Statutes Title 74 (relating to mobile food establishments and fire/life safety compliance requirements). This bill removes existing rules governing permits, inspections, and safety standards for mobile food businesses from the state code. It directly affects mobile food establishment operators by eliminating the specific statutory requirements they previously had to follow under this repealed section. The repeal takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3195 clarifies and strengthens penalties for district attorneys and related officials who commit misconduct in legal proceedings. The bill specifically amends Oklahoma law to define clear felony classifications (Class D3 or D1) for acts like offering forged evidence (Section 451), making false statements to influence witnesses (Section 452), falsifying records (Section 453), destroying evidence (Section 454), bribing witnesses (Section 456), committing perjury (Section 491), suborning perjury (Section 504), and falsifying official records (Section 531). It directly affects district attorneys, assistant district attorneys, sheriffs, clerks, and other court officials who handle evidence or official records. The changes ensure consistent felony penalties for these specific misconducts without creating new offenses. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3212 allows Oklahoma distillers with valid licenses to serve free samples of their spirits at public events like trade shows and festivals, in addition to their licensed premises. It limits samples to 3 fluid ounces per visitor per day within a designated area, requires a floor plan on file with the ABLE Commission, and prohibits minors from entering sampling zones. The bill imposes a combined annual limit of 15,000 gallons for all on-premise sales, off-premise sales, and public event samples by a distiller. Samples served under this provision are not considered sales for tax purposes but still count toward excise tax reporting requirements. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3215 removes a specific license requirement for serving alcoholic beverages at events (37A licenses under 37A O.S. 2021, Section 2-114) and takes effect November 1, 2026. This procedural bill repeals an existing provision without creating new rules or mechanisms. It directly affects businesses or event organizers previously required to obtain the 37A license for alcohol service. The change simplifies regulatory requirements for those specific events by eliminating the license mandate.

Maddy summaryHB 3214 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Revenue and Taxation Policy Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It does not establish new tax policies or alter existing tax laws. The bill is structured as a noncodified act, meaning it will not be included in the Oklahoma Statutes. This is a technical procedural measure with no direct impact on taxpayers or revenue mechanisms.

Maddy summaryHB 3219 repeals Section 646 of Title 69 Oklahoma Statutes, which previously governed condemnation procedures for roads, bridges, and ferries. This bill removes an outdated legal provision related to the state's authority to acquire private property for transportation infrastructure projects. The repeal has no new requirements or direct impact on current processes, as it simply eliminates the specific statutory section. The change becomes effective November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3199 removes the prohibition against inmates possessing cigarettes, cigars, snuff, chewing tobacco, or other tobacco products in Oklahoma jails and penal institutions. This bill deletes the existing misdemeanor penalty (up to one year in jail or $500 fine) for bringing tobacco into these facilities. The change directly affects inmates and prison staff, altering what items are permitted within correctional facilities. The law will take effect on November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3218 repeals Oklahoma courts' authority to make rules under sections 23, 24, and 91.8 of 20 O.S. 2021, directly affecting state courts' ability to establish procedural rules. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, removing specific statutory provisions that previously allowed courts to create their own rule-making procedures.

Maddy summaryHB 3217, titled the "Oklahoma District Attorneys Reform Act of 2026," is a procedural bill that establishes the name and effective date for the legislation. It specifies the bill will take effect on November 1, 2026, and is not intended to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill does not describe substantive policy changes or mechanisms, as it solely names the act and sets its implementation date. This is a standard procedural measure for introducing new legislation.

Maddy summaryHB 3227 updates Oklahoma's licensing rules for process servers. It increases the initial license fee to $150 (from $15) and reduces renewal fees to $15, while requiring applicants to be Oklahoma residents for six months and pass background checks (prohibiting those with violent crime or sex offender convictions). The bill adds specific rules for serving legal documents at medical facilities (requiring assistance from employees during business hours), private/gated communities (allowing service only if an employee is present), and workplaces. It also creates a misdemeanor offense for employees of medical facilities or employers to refuse assisting process servers, with penalties outlined in the law.
