Maddy summaryHB 1398 requires cities and towns in Oklahoma to send copies of issued building permits to their county assessors within 30 days of issuance, and to provide electronic copies when feasible. This procedural bill affects local municipalities and county assessors, streamlining record-sharing for property assessment purposes, and takes effect on November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1391 amends Oklahoma's income tax code to adjust how taxable income is calculated for individuals and corporations. It specifically revises rules for federal net operating loss deductions (including carryback periods and allocation methods) and clarifies how income from property (real or intangible) and business activities should be allocated to Oklahoma for tax purposes. The bill directly affects businesses and taxpayers who claim federal deductions or operate across state lines, requiring them to adjust their Oklahoma tax calculations based on Oklahoma-specific rules. Key changes include aligning Oklahoma's loss carryback rules with federal timelines for certain tax years and defining how income from property or sales is allocated to Oklahoma. This is a technical adjustment to Oklahoma's tax code, not a new tax or benefit.

Maddy summaryHB 1405 establishes the name "Oklahoma Revenue and Taxation Act of 2025" for administrative purposes and sets an effective date of November 1, 2025. The bill does not change tax rates, rules, or policies - it is purely procedural, creating a named reference for future revenue and taxation legislation. It directly affects how the state organizes and references its tax laws under this new designation. No substantive tax changes or affected groups are specified in the bill text.

Maddy summaryThis bill's title indicates it modifies sales tax exemptions for disabled veterans, but the provided text only shows it amends Section 1357 of Oklahoma's tax code generally - without specifying the exact change to the disabled veterans exemption. The excerpt lists existing exemptions (e.g., for schools, food, medical supplies) but doesn't detail how this bill alters the veterans' provision. Since the context lacks the specific amendment language or policy change, a factual summary of the bill's concrete effect cannot be provided. The bill is still in early stages (first reading, referred to Rules), with no voting record yet.

Maddy summaryHB 1397 requires written parental or guardian consent for medical treatments of minors in Oklahoma, including telemedicine services for mental health. It specifies that school-based telemedicine consent (provided by parents) remains valid for the entire school year without needing on-site parental verification. Exceptions apply during medical emergencies or when parents cannot be reached after reasonable effort. Violating these consent rules is a misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 or one year in jail. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1400 removes a requirement from Oklahoma's driver license law that previously prohibited issuing licenses to "any alien" without valid U.S. documentation proving legal presence. The bill deletes subsection A(9) of Section 6-103, which had mandated that non-citizens provide proof of authorization to be in the United States. This change directly affects non-citizen applicants who were previously required to present such documentation. The amendment simplifies the application process by eliminating this specific eligibility barrier for non-citizens. The bill is procedural in nature, modifying existing text without creating new policy.

Maddy summaryHB 1402 requires Oklahoma's Office of Juvenile System Oversight to conduct at least one unannounced annual inspection of state-operated children's facilities and periodic inspections of private facilities. The bill expands the Office's authority to review facility records, interview residents, subpoena witnesses, and handle complaints from foster parents about retaliation for reporting issues. It specifically mandates that the Office investigate complaints alleging Department of Human Services or child-placing agency employees threatened, harassed, or retaliated against foster parents for filing grievances or cooperating with investigations. The Office must issue annual reports to state leaders and provide recommendations to the Commission on Children and Youth, effective November 1, 2025. This directly affects children in state care, foster parents, and oversight agencies like DHS and juvenile justice.

Maddy summaryHB 1401 requires cities, towns, and public school districts in Oklahoma with populations over 100,000 to ensure all new or updated playground equipment and navigation surfaces are fully accessible. The bill defines "fully inclusive" as equipment usable by people requiring mobility devices and "travel surfaces" as ground materials enabling safe navigation. This applies specifically to public playgrounds in large jurisdictions planning new installations or upgrades. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025, mandating accessibility standards for all users without specifying enforcement mechanisms.

Maddy summaryHB 1405 establishes the "Oklahoma Revenue and Taxation Act of 2025" as a new legal title for future revenue and taxation laws in Oklahoma. The bill does not change any existing tax rates, rules, or procedures, but instead provides a formal name for organizing future legislation in this area. It will take effect on November 1, 2025, and applies to the state's legislative framework for managing revenue and taxation going forward.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to expand Oklahoma's homestead tax exemption for disabled veterans. It would allow veterans with disability ratings from 10% to 100% to receive tiered tax exemptions on their primary residence (25% for 10-29% rating, 50% for 30-49%, 75% for 50-69%, and 100% for 70-100%). To qualify, veterans must prove Oklahoma residency and meet standard homestead exemption requirements. The change would directly affect disabled veterans and surviving spouses who own homes in Oklahoma, modifying how property taxes are calculated for their primary residences.
