Maddy summaryHB 3795 ensures parents have full access to their minor child's medical records (including lab results, prescriptions, and electronic portal access) until the child turns 18, unless specific exceptions apply. Health care providers must grant this access within five business days without charging fees and cannot require minors to create separate accounts. Exceptions include records related to minor-consent services (like STI testing, substance abuse treatment, or pregnancy care), court-ordered restrictions, or documented risks of harm to the minor. Violations would be treated as deceptive practices under Oklahoma law.

Maddy summaryHB 3797 establishes the name "Oklahoma Revenue and Taxation Act of 2026" for a future tax-related law and specifies it will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. It sets an effective date of November 1, 2026, for the act. This is a procedural bill with no substantive tax policy changes, solely creating a reference name for future legislation. It directly affects how future revenue and taxation laws may be formally cited but does not alter tax rates or rules.

Maddy summaryHB 3807 prohibits Oklahoma insurers from refusing coverage or charging higher rates to widowed individuals based on their marital status reflecting the death of a spouse. The bill directly affects widowed residents purchasing insurance policies in Oklahoma by requiring insurers to treat them the same as married individuals for rate and coverage purposes. Key provisions ban insurers from denying coverage or charging different premiums solely due to widowhood, ensuring equal treatment regardless of marital status after a spouse's death. The law takes effect November 1, 2026, and applies to all insurance policies covered under Oklahoma Statutes Title 36. This is a direct policy change preventing discrimination against widowed people in insurance markets.

Maddy summaryHB 3792 denies insurance payment for collision or comprehensive claims if the claimant was unlawfully operating a vehicle at the time of the loss - defined as driving without a valid license, with a revoked/canceled license, or using fraudulent ID. This directly affects drivers making first-party claims for vehicle damage or theft. Insurers may verify license status using official Oklahoma Department of Public Safety data to determine claim eligibility. The bill explicitly preserves liability coverage for injuries or property damage to innocent third parties, ensuring payments to others remain unaffected.

Maddy summaryHB 3799 modifies Oklahoma's vehicle title law to allow spouses of borrowers to transfer a vehicle title when an active loan lien exists. Under current rules, licensed operators cannot transfer titles with active liens without lien satisfaction, but this bill adds spouses to the list of eligible transferees under Section 8(a) of the amended law. Specifically, titles may be transferred to a spouse if the lender is notified and the transfer doesn’t affect the lien’s validity, priority, or enforceability. This directly affects married couples where one spouse holds a vehicle loan, streamlining title transfers during events like marriage or divorce without requiring immediate lien payoff.

Maddy summaryHB 3803 restricts certain foreign entities from owning or controlling Oklahoma agricultural land by creating criminal penalties for violations. It prohibits "prohibited foreign parties" (including foreign governments, state-backed businesses from designated hostile countries, and their agents/trustees) from owning agricultural land, with penalties including fines up to $15,000 or up to two years in prison. The bill defines "agricultural land" broadly to include farmland, ranches, and forested land (over 10 acres), but explicitly excludes mineral rights like oil, gas, and coal. This law directly affects foreign-owned businesses or entities meeting the bill’s specific definitions, requiring them to divest from agricultural land holdings in Oklahoma.

Maddy summaryHB 3801 increases Oklahoma's homestead property tax exemption from $1,000 to $2,000 per year for qualifying homeowners. The bill amends Oklahoma Statutes to expand the tax break on the assessed value of primary residences, directly benefiting homeowners who qualify as "homestead owners" under state law. This change takes effect November 1, 2026, and applies to all homesteads assessed for ad valorem taxation. The legislation makes a specific, concrete change to existing tax law without altering eligibility criteria or creating new administrative processes.

Maddy summaryHB 3788 prevents insurance companies from paying first-party liability claims to drivers who were unlawfully operating a motor vehicle at the time of an accident (defined as driving without a valid license, with a suspended/revoked license, or using fraudulent ID). It specifically ensures that passengers, third parties, and other nondrivers can still collect compensation for injuries or property damage. Insurers may verify a claimant’s license status using official Oklahoma Department of Public Safety data. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3805 is a procedural bill that names the "Insurance Act of 2026" and sets its effective date. It does not create new insurance regulations or affect any specific groups; it only establishes the bill's official title and specifies that it takes effect on November 1, 2026. The bill contains no substantive policy changes or mechanisms beyond this naming and implementation detail.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Education Reform Act of 2026, establishes the formal name for future education-related legislation in Oklahoma but does not introduce any new policies or changes. The law creates a citation title for the act and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. It is a procedural measure that designates how the legislation will be referenced in legal documents without altering existing education laws or affecting students, schools, or educators. The bill currently has only been introduced and referred to the Rules Committee, with no substantive provisions beyond naming and timing.
