Maddy summaryHB 3216 is a procedural bill that names itself the "Judicial Authority Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It does not create new laws or alter judicial authority; it merely establishes the bill's official name and effective date. The bill is noncodified, meaning it will not be added to Oklahoma's official statutes. This is a routine naming and timing measure with no substantive policy impact.

Maddy summaryHB 3223 repeals Section 396.24 of Title 59 Oklahoma Statutes (2021), which previously established penalties and fines for violations related to funeral homes. This bill directly affects funeral home operators by removing an existing regulatory penalty provision. The repeal takes effect November 1, 2026, with no new requirements or penalties being added. The bill is procedural and solely removes a prior statute.

Maddy summaryHB 3206 requires the removal of Council on Judicial Complaints members who fail to properly discipline judicial staff or judges (positions under the Court on the Judiciary) accused of serious ethical violations or felony crimes. The Attorney General must investigate complaints and, if reasonable cause exists, file a Supreme Court case to remove the council member. Removal procedures follow existing rules in Oklahoma Statutes Title 51, Sections 95-105. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026, directly affecting council members and judicial personnel subject to disciplinary oversight.

The legislation would remove existing regulatory provisions related to the powers of the Corporation Commission, affecting how the state oversees business entities. The bill is currently in its early stages, having been introduced and referred to the Rules Committee in February 2026. No specific effective date for the repeal is included in the available text.

Maddy summaryHB 3208 repeals Section 2-3-101 of Title 27A of the Oklahoma Statutes, which previously referenced the Department of Environmental Quality. This is a procedural bill that removes an outdated legal reference but does not create a new department or change environmental policies. The repeal takes effect on November 1, 2026. The bill directly affects only the statutory code, not any citizens, businesses, or environmental regulations.

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals three existing Oklahoma statutes (2 O.S. 2021 Sections 2-18, 2A-28, and 20-8) that governed administrative law judges within the Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. It does not create new policies or directly affect specific groups; it simply removes these outdated provisions from state law. The repeal takes effect November 1, 2026. As a procedural repealer, this bill has no substantive policy changes.

Maddy summaryHB 3224 is a procedural bill that removes multiple existing provisions from Oklahoma law related to the State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. It repeals specific sections of the Oklahoma Statutes (59 O.S. 2021, Sections 396, 396.1, 396.1A, 396.1B, 396.1C, and 396.2a) that previously governed the board's operations and requirements. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, and does not create new regulations or directly affect individuals or businesses. This is a straightforward repeal of outdated or redundant statutory language.

Maddy summaryHB 3375 is a procedural bill that removes multiple existing rules from the Oklahoma Ethics Commission's administrative code. It repeals 15 specific provisions (including rules on investigations, penalties, definitions, and complaint procedures) that were previously listed in Appendix I of the commission's rules. The bill does not create new policies or penalties but eliminates outdated administrative language from the Ethics Commission's framework. This change affects how the Ethics Commission manages its internal procedures but does not directly impact legislators or voters. The bill is scheduled to take effect on November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHJR 1062 proposes to repeal Sections 3 and 4 of Article XXIX in the Oklahoma Constitution, which govern the state Ethics Commission. Section 3 requires the Commission to create ethics rules for state officials, campaigns, and employees, while Section 4 grants it investigative powers, subpoena authority, and enforcement tools. If approved by voters, these constitutional provisions would be removed, eliminating the Commission's specific duties and powers under these sections. The measure would send this constitutional repeal to voters as a ballot initiative.

Maddy summaryHB 1237 increases death benefit payments for families of deceased members in several Oklahoma public retirement systems. For members who died before July 1, 1999, the benefit remains $4,000; for those dying on or after that date, it rises to $5,000 or $10,000. The bill also streamlines probate by allowing direct payments to heirs if they submit required documents (like heirship affidavits and written agreements), bypassing court procedures. This affects families of firefighters, police officers, judges, teachers, and other public employees covered by the specified retirement systems. The changes apply to death benefits paid under the Oklahoma Firefighters, Police, Judges, Teachers', and Public Employees Retirement Systems.
