Maddy summarySB 780 would make it a felony to remove the U.S. flag from public or private property (owned by others) without permission and replace it with another flag. The bill specifies penalties of up to $3,000 in fines, three years in prison, or both for violations. It applies to anyone altering U.S. flag displays on property under others' ownership, including private land. The bill is pending legislative action and would take effect November 1, 2025, if passed.

Maddy summarySB 1021 prohibits the intentional use of chemicals or apparatus to alter weather conditions (like temperature, precipitation, or sunlight intensity) within Oklahoma.

The bill authorizes the Governor to direct the Oklahoma Air National Guard to intercept, investigate, and document violations, including securing evidence from aircraft. The law repeals previous weather modification statutes and takes effect on November 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 1191 allows farmers to advertise on-farm sales of donkey milk under Oklahoma's Milk and Milk Products Act. It amends existing law to explicitly include donkey milk (alongside goat milk) in the advertising exception for "incidental sales," defined as averaging no more than 100 gallons per month. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and directly affects small-scale dairy farmers producing donkey milk on their own farms.

Maddy summaryHB 1191 amends Oklahoma's Milk and Milk Products Act to explicitly allow farmers to advertise on-farm sales of donkey milk (and goat milk). It clarifies that the law does not prohibit advertising incidental sales of these milks, defined as under 100 gallons per month. The bill directly affects small-scale dairy farmers producing donkey milk on their own farms who previously faced uncertainty about advertising. The key change removes an implied restriction, making advertising for these small-volume sales legally permissible. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.

Maddy summarySB 1107, the Financial Services Freedom Act, prohibits large financial institutions (banks with over $100 billion in assets or payment processors handling similar transaction volumes) from denying, restricting, or terminating services based on a customer's protected religious exercise, political speech, or other First Amendment activities. It requires institutions to provide written explanations for service denials and allows customers to sue for damages or seek court injunctions if denied service for protected reasons like refusing to participate in diversity initiatives or disclosing political contributions. The bill defines "social credit score" broadly to include factors such as religious practices, political views, or refusal to adopt certain environmental or diversity policies beyond legal requirements. It directly affects major banks and payment processors in Oklahoma, aiming to increase transparency and prevent discrimination tied to protected expression.

Maddy summarySB 426 designates chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin as over-the-counter drugs in Oklahoma, requiring pharmacists and pharmacies to sell these medications without prescriptions. The bill directly affects pharmacists and pharmacies, prohibiting them from demanding prescriptions for these specific drugs. Violations carry severe penalties: license revocation and a $100,000 fine per occurrence, enforced by the State Board of Pharmacy. This law creates a concrete policy change by removing prescription barriers for these three medications at the point of sale.

Maddy summarySB 887 proposes a 5-year pilot program called the "Secure Pre-Integration Pilot Program" for non-violent offenders in Oklahoma prisons, aiming to reduce prison populations and state costs. The program would require the Department of Corrections to release eligible inmates to family members or community organizations (like churches or nonprofits), which would monitor them and report to the state. Inmates remain under state custody, and the program explicitly does not replace probation or parole. A dedicated revolving fund would cover program costs, including up to 5% for administrative expenses, but the bill failed committee review in February 2025 and has not become law.
