Maddy summaryHB 1927 amends Oklahoma's tax code to adjust how the state calculates taxable income for individuals and corporations. It changes the rules for adjusting federal taxable income by adding state interest income not already exempt, deducting amounts the state cannot tax due to constitutional or federal restrictions, and modifying how federal net operating losses are applied (with different rules for losses carried back to different time periods). The bill specifically affects taxpayers by altering how their Oklahoma taxable income is determined based on federal calculations, particularly regarding income allocation for property, business activities, and net operating losses. These changes aim to align Oklahoma's tax calculations more precisely with federal rules while maintaining state-specific adjustments.

Maddy summaryHB 1928 amends Oklahoma's Professional Entity Act by updating the definition of "professional service" to explicitly include human resource professionals. This change affects organizations employing HR professionals who operate under the act's framework, such as those structured as corporations, limited partnerships, or limited liability companies. The bill adds "human resource professional" to the existing list of covered professions (like doctors, lawyers, and therapists) within the act's definitions, clarifying that HR services qualify as "professional service" under the law. It does not create new regulations but refines how existing rules apply to HR professionals.

Maddy summaryHB 1931, the Child Care Reform Act of 2025, changes how Oklahoma's Department of Human Services handles noncompliance by child care facilities. It requires the Department to determine if there was "imminent risk of harm" before assigning a "serious designation" for violations of licensing rules. The bill mandates documentation of the child's age, facility mitigation efforts, duration of noncompliance, and the facility's prior 12-month compliance record. It also prevents duplicate investigations by requiring Child Care Services to stop if Child Welfare Services deems a complaint unsubstantiated. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting licensed child care facilities and the Department's enforcement process.
