Maddy summaryHB 2632 requires Oklahoma insurers to send a written settlement offer or claim rejection within 60 days of receiving an insured's completed claim documentation. If an insured wins a court case, they receive 15% annual interest on the award from when the loss was payable under the policy, but this does not apply to uninsured motorist or property insurance claims. The law changes which party is considered "prevailing" in court: insurers win if the judgment is less than or equal to their written offer, otherwise insureds win. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
Maddy summaryHB 2637 is a procedural bill that names the "Motor Carriers Reform Act of 2025" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025.

This summary reflects only the naming and effective date provisions, with no substantive policy changes.
Maddy summaryHB 3618, known as the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2024, establishes new legal procedures for perfecting security interests on motor vehicles in Oklahoma.

This legislation directly affects lenders, dealers, and individuals involved in vehicle financing and title transfers by updating how these financial interests are documented. The law is set to take effect on November 1, 2024, and is not intended to be added to the permanent Oklahoma Statutes.
