It does not introduce new programs, funding levels, or policy changes - only formalizing the budget process.

Maddy summaryHJR 1038 proposes three constitutional amendments requiring U.S. citizenship for specific state officials. It would amend Article V (legislators), Article VI (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other statewide elected offices), and Article VII (Supreme Court Justices) to explicitly state that these individuals must be U.S. citizens and cannot hold citizenship in any other country. The changes must be approved by voters in a referendum. If passed, U.S. citizenship would become a mandatory requirement for holding these state offices.

Maddy summaryHB 2778 creates the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Program (expiring November 1, 2028) to support child care workers at licensed facilities. It directly affects child care employees who work at least 20 hours weekly and meet income limits: $120,000 annual household income for two-parent households or $60,000 for single-parent households. Key provisions waive co-payments for eligible employees and exempt their income from subsidy program cost-sharing calculations, while requiring providers to notify the Department of Human Services if an employee leaves. The program operates under Oklahoma’s Child Care Subsidy Program rules, with all other eligibility conditions remaining unchanged.

Maddy summaryHB 1751 changes Oklahoma's driver's license and identification card renewal rules.

This directly affects all Oklahoma residents who hold driver's licenses or state ID cards. The changes took effect after the bill was passed and veto overridden on May 29, 2025.
