Maddy summaryHB 1943, the Oklahoma Plain Writing Act of 2025, requires all state agencies (including departments, commissions, and the judiciary) to use clear, simple language in documents that help citizens access government services, file taxes, or understand compliance requirements. Agencies must train staff, create plain writing sections on their websites, and publish annual reports on compliance starting one year after the law takes effect on November 1, 2025. Failure to comply results in administrative penalties of $500 for the first violation and $1,000 for subsequent violations, with funds directed to the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System. The bill applies to forms, notices, and instructions provided by state agencies but excludes regulations.
