Maddy summarySB 714 prohibits Oklahoma state retirement systems from using retirement funds to boycott fossil fuel companies without a financial reason. It defines "boycott" as actions penalizing energy companies based on environmental or political views rather than financial return, and transfers enforcement to the Attorney General. The law shields state officials from lawsuits for investment decisions made under this rule and blocks private lawsuits challenging retirement fund investments. This directly affects state retirement systems managing public funds, requiring them to prioritize financial returns over political or environmental objections in investment choices.

Maddy summaryHB 1771 re-creates the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) with a sunset provision ending its operation on July 1, 2026.

It specifies membership qualifications, terms, and operational rules, such as requiring a majority of appointed members to be actively engaged in education and mandating quarterly meetings. The Authority, deemed an essential state function, will operate without member compensation but with travel expense reimbursement. This procedural bill directly affects Oklahoma's public educational television operations and governance structure until the 2026 sunset date.

This act is noncodified, meaning it will not be added to Oklahoma's official statutes. It directly affects administrative naming conventions for the Department of Human Services but does not alter services or eligibility for residents.

Maddy summaryHB 1749 requires all Oklahoma police departments, sheriff's offices, and campus police with canine units to install heat alarm systems in their canine transport vehicles.

This applies to all vehicles used in canine law enforcement programs statewide. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1748 restricts access to Oklahoma death and birth certificates, allowing disclosure only to specific individuals or entities (such as the subject, parents, legal representatives, funeral directors, or state agencies like Medicaid and the Highway Safety Office) under defined circumstances. It requires death certificates to become publicly available 50 years after death (and birth certificates 125 years after birth) and mandates an online public index of death and birth data after 5 years (for deaths) and 20 years (for births), with fees limited to actual costs for digital files. The bill also requires the State Department of Health to share death data with agencies like the Department of Public Safety (for driver license cancellation) and the Department of Labor (for occupational injury statistics). These changes aim to balance privacy protections with necessary administrative and public health data sharing.
