Maddy summarySB 1090 creates the "Invest In Oklahoma" program, allowing nine specific state retirement systems (including Teachers’ Retirement and Public Employees Retirement) to invest up to 5% of their assets in Oklahoma-based private equity, venture capital, and growth funds. The State Treasurer must select qualifying funds using criteria like return rates, investment track records, and the percentage of capital invested in Oklahoma. A new Cash Management and Investment Oversight Commission will review investment performance and establish reporting standards. The program requires the Treasurer to maintain public lists of approved funds and ensure investments align with safety and return goals.

Maddy summaryHB 3781 shortens the time insurers must file property and casualty insurance rates with Oklahoma's Insurance Commissioner. In competitive markets, insurers must now file rates 30 days before the effective date (down from 60 days), and in noncompetitive markets, 60 days before (down from 90 days). The bill requires insurers to specify the effective date in filings and allows the Commissioner to extend review periods by up to 30 days if additional information is needed. This change affects all property and casualty insurers operating in Oklahoma.

Maddy summaryHB 3790 creates a five-day cancellation period for homeowners who sign home repair contracts during in-person solicitation at their residence. It directly affects homeowners who agree to repair services after a contractor visits their home, allowing them to cancel the contract by providing written notice to the contractor within five calendar days of signing. The bill defines "home solicitation contract" to exclude pre-existing agreements or contracts made at a business location, and specifies that cancellation notice can be mailed or written in any form indicating the homeowner's intent to cancel. This law applies only to new contracts signed during in-home solicitation and takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a ceremonial resolution honoring Chuck Norris, a native of Ryan, Oklahoma, for his achievements as a martial artist, actor, and philanthropist. It does not create new laws or change any policies but instead formally recognizes his contributions to Oklahoma and the nation. The resolution acknowledges his military service, entertainment career, and charitable work as positive examples for citizens. No administrative actions or funding changes are included in this measure.

Maddy summarySB 1673, the "Prosthetic Access and Accountability Act of 2026," requires health benefit plans in Oklahoma to cover physician-prescribed prosthetic and orthotic devices (like artificial limbs or braces) needed to restore physical function. It prohibits denials based on disability, cost, or device classification, mandates health plans to review urgent requests within 2 business days (and standard requests within 10), and automatically approves requests if deadlines are missed. Health plans must reimburse out-of-network providers for covered devices if in-network options are unavailable due to location, and they face liability for harm caused by denied or delayed coverage - including medical costs, lost wages, and punitive damages in cases of bad faith. The Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner will enforce these rules, investigate complaints, and publish annual reports on coverage denials and patient outcomes.

Maddy summaryHB 1085 modifies administrative fees for service warranty associations and insurers in Oklahoma. It reduces the quarterly fee from 2% to 1.75% (starting 2026), then to 1% (2027), and sets a fixed annual fee of $3,700 by 2028. Entities with specific insurance coverage may elect to pay the fixed annual fee instead of the percentage-based fee. The bill directly affects businesses selling service warranties that must report and pay these fees to the Insurance Commissioner. The changes take effect January 1, 2026, with phased reductions over three years.

Maddy summaryHB 3780 requires property and casualty insurance companies operating in Oklahoma to annually submit an independent actuary's written opinion justifying their rates, along with supporting documentation. This directly affects all Oklahoma-based insurers (and out-of-state insurers upon request) by mandating transparency in rate-setting. Key provisions include requiring an "actuarial opinion summary" and supporting workpapers, with the Insurance Commissioner empowered to hire a qualified actuary at the insurer's expense if documents are insufficient. The bill defines an "independent actuary" as a qualified professional with no financial ties to the insurer, and protects them from liability except for fraud or misconduct. It takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3786 increases the pay of Oklahoma Park Rangers by 15% starting July 1, 2026. This bill directly affects Park Rangers employed by the Division of State Parks within the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. The key provision sets a specific percentage increase in compensation, with an emergency declaration allowing the law to take effect immediately upon approval. The bill does not alter other state employee pay structures or include additional provisions beyond this targeted raise.

Maddy summaryHB 3784 restricts medical micropigmentation (permanent makeup for medical purposes, such as scar camouflage or breast reconstruction) to be performed only in physician offices. It limits who can perform the procedure to three categories: physicians, registered nurses with a special health commissioner certificate working under physician supervision (after 6,240 supervised hours), and other certified individuals under similar supervision rules. Supervision ends once the required hours are documented with the State Board of Health and prescription medications aren't used on clients. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3782 requires residential roofers in Oklahoma to obtain a residential roofing endorsement by passing a 70% minimum exam or completing 10 hours of approved continuing education, effective November 1, 2026. It provides a 12-month transition period for current roofers registered with the Construction Industries Board to meet requirements, exempts those with existing commercial roofer endorsements, and prohibits unendorsed individuals from performing residential roofing work. The bill also prohibits unlicensed roofers from advising on insurance coverage (though they may discuss damage or repairs), with violations subject to $1,000 fines per offense. This primarily affects residential roofing contractors and laborers providing residential services, codifying new standards for their licensing and insurance-related activities.
