Maddy summaryHB 2195 lowers Oklahoma's top individual income tax rate to 4.75% for taxable years beginning in 2024, replacing previous rates of 5.50% and 5.25%. It affects all Oklahoma residents and nonresidents filing individual income tax returns by reducing tax burdens across multiple income brackets. Key changes include lowering rates on the highest income tiers (e.g., reducing the top rate from 5.50% to 4.75% for single filers above $6,150 and married filers above $11,750). The bill takes effect January 1, 2024, and eliminates deductions for federal income taxes paid.

Maddy summaryHB 2203 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Veterans Act of 2025" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025. It does not establish new policies, benefits, or obligations for veterans or state agencies. The bill solely provides a formal name for future legislation related to veterans and specifies when that naming takes effect. No substantive changes to veterans' programs or services are described in the bill text.

Maddy summaryHB 2202 is a procedural bill that names itself the "Oklahoma Classroom Learning Environment Act of 2025" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025. It contains no substantive policy provisions or changes to school operations, classroom environments, or education regulations. The bill serves solely as a formal designation for administrative purposes and does not directly affect schools, students, or educators. Its text is limited to establishing the bill's title and effective date, with no policy mechanisms described.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Section 8C, modifying the income threshold for seniors aged 65+ to qualify for a homestead property tax benefit. Currently, eligibility is based on HUD's county-specific median income; the bill would change this to triple the state's median income (using a single statewide figure instead of county-by-county). This change would allow more seniors to maintain their frozen property tax valuation after turning 65, provided their household income stays below the new threshold. The amendment requires voter approval via ballot referendum.

Maddy summaryHB 2190 amends Oklahoma's tax code to adjust how the state calculates taxable income for individuals and corporations, directly affecting taxpayers who file state returns. It modifies rules for deducting federal net operating losses, adjusts income allocation methods for property and business activities (like rental income or partnership sales), and clarifies how retirement income is treated. Key provisions include specifying how losses from out-of-state sources are handled and changing how income from property sales is allocated based on location. The bill does not change tax rates but refines the calculation process for determining Oklahoma taxable income. It is currently in committee review (referred to Appropriations and Budget Subcommittee) and has not yet been enacted.

Maddy summaryHB 2201 requires food establishments in Oklahoma that sell genetically engineered (GE) food to post a clear, visible notice stating they sell such products. It defines "genetically engineered food" as containing lab-modified genetic material not possible through conventional breeding. The bill amends existing food licensing rules (Section 1-1118) to add this notice requirement, directly affecting restaurants, grocery stores, and other food sellers offering GE products. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not change licensing fees or other requirements for food establishments.

Maddy summaryHB 2200 increases penalties for stealing or interfering with mail in Oklahoma. It makes unauthorized possession, destruction, or taking of mail (from mailboxes, delivery vehicles, or premises) punishable as a misdemeanor (up to 2 years in jail or $5,000 fine) or, for three or more offenses within 60 days, a felony (2-5 years in prison or $5,000 fine). The bill requires convicted individuals to pay restitution to victims as specified in Oklahoma law. This directly affects people who steal or tamper with mail, including postal items, packages, or delivery vehicles.

Maddy summaryHB 2192 creates a $5,000 annual income tax credit for certified public accountants (CPAs) employed by the Oklahoma State Treasurer's Office or State Auditor and Inspector's Office starting January 1, 2026. The credit, which can be claimed for up to five total years (not necessarily consecutive), reduces state income tax liability but cannot lower it below zero. Unused credit amounts may be carried forward to subsequent years within the five-year limit. This bill directly affects qualified CPAs working for these two state offices, providing a financial benefit tied to their employment.

Maddy summaryHB 2204 creates the "Oklahoma Criminal Law Act of 2025" as a named legislative act but does not change existing criminal laws or create new penalties. It specifies that the act will take effect on November 1, 2025, and explicitly states it will not be codified into the Oklahoma Statutes. This is a procedural bill that establishes a title for future reference without altering any substantive criminal law or affecting any individuals or entities. The bill has only been introduced (first reading February 3, 2025) and has not advanced further.

Maddy summaryHB 2202 is a procedural bill that names itself the "Oklahoma Classroom Learning Environment Act of 2025" and sets an effective date of November 1, 2025. It contains no substantive policy changes or new requirements for schools, classrooms, or students. The bill explicitly states it will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes, meaning it serves only as a naming convention and does not alter existing education laws or practices. This is a routine procedural measure with no direct impact on educational policies or affected parties.
