Maddy summaryHB 1789 modifies rules for recreational vehicle (RV) dealers conducting off-premises sales events. It allows dealers to sell RVs outside their designated sales area at two types of events: (1) "sanctioned" shows requiring at least 67% of nearby dealers to participate, with a $200 event permit and $15 per vehicle dealer fee; and (2) "private" shows limited to the dealer’s area, with a $15 per vehicle fee, no more than 5 days per event, and 2.5-mile spacing from non-participating dealers. The bill also permits non-sales displays (e.g., promotional events) within a dealer’s area without permits. It directly affects RV dealers, manufacturers, and event organizers by creating structured rules for off-premises sales while maintaining designated sales areas otherwise. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1789 modifies Oklahoma's motor vehicle dealer sales rules to allow off-premises sales under specific conditions. It permits dealers to sell recreational vehicles outside their designated sales area at two types of events: (1) sanctioned RV shows requiring 67% dealer participation within 60 miles and $200 event permits, or (2) private shows within the dealer's zone with $15 per vehicle permits, location restrictions, and manufacturer approval. The bill also clarifies that dealers may display vehicles for promotion at off-premises events without sales activity, but sales staff cannot attend. This law, effective November 1, 2025, directly affects Oklahoma recreational vehicle dealers participating in these events.
Maddy summaryHB 1393 amends Oklahoma's special education law to clarify how alternate achievement standards are applied in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with disabilities. It replaces the phrase "based on alternate academic achievement standards" with language requiring assessments "that promote access to and progress in the general education curriculum." This change directly affects students with disabilities in Oklahoma public schools who use alternate assessments, ensuring their IEPs focus on meaningful engagement with standard curriculum content. The bill specifies that alternate assessments must support students' ability to access and advance in regular classroom learning, not just measure them against different standards. The amendment became law after Governor approval on May 9, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 1108 transfers the collection and management of Oklahoma aircraft registration fees from current systems to Service Oklahoma, affecting all aircraft owners in the state.

The law takes effect July 1, 2025, standardizing aircraft registration processes under Service Oklahoma.

Maddy summarySB 646 would create Oklahoma's Federal Official Security Act, requiring state agencies to remove specific personal information of federal officials and their immediate families from public records. Covered information includes home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, school locations for family members, and property details. Agencies must delete such information within 72 hours of a written request, with exceptions for court orders or signed releases. The law aims to prevent public exposure of sensitive data while allowing access under legal circumstances.
Maddy summarySB 646, known as the "Oklahoma Federal Officials Security Act of 2025," aims to protect the personal information of current federally elected officials in Oklahoma and their immediate families. The bill allows these officials to request state agencies to mark specific "covered information," such as home addresses, personal phone numbers, and financial details, as private. State agencies are then prohibited from publicly posting this information and must remove it from publicly available content within 72 hours of receiving a request. It also enables the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to manage these privacy requests on behalf of officials.
Maddy summarySB 341 streamlines the process for selling Oklahoma's state-owned railroad properties. It requires the Department of Transportation to issue a 120-day request for proposals before selling any railroad asset, followed by a joint evaluation by multiple state agencies (including Commerce, Agriculture, and Energy) to assess economic impact. The Transportation Commission must then approve sales deemed in the state's best interest, with all proceeds deposited into the Oklahoma Railroad Maintenance Revolving Fund. This directly affects state-owned railroad properties and the Department of Transportation's authority to manage their sale.
Maddy summarySB 544 creates an Identity Verification Unit (IVU) within Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety to investigate fraudulent identification documents, including those used by individuals unlawfully residing in the state. It requires all driver's license applicants (with exceptions for seniors over 65 and minors under 18 needing parental consent) to provide fingerprint scans for identity verification. The bill restricts access to fingerprint data to law enforcement only with a court order (except for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in specific cases like identifying deceased or missing persons). It also updates laws against fraudulent licenses and mandates new rules for Service Oklahoma. The bill was enacted as an emergency measure and signed into law on May 3, 2025.
