Maddy summarySB 611, Oklahoma's "Citizen's Bill of Rights," prohibits government and businesses from forcing digital payment systems without alternatives, tracking personal purchases, implementing social credit scores, restricting medical choices (including vaccine refusal), or controlling energy use preferences. It guarantees citizens' right to use gold/silver as currency without coercion, protects personal gardens and rainwater collection, and bans digital ID requirements for transactions or travel. The bill directly affects all Oklahomans interacting with state services, financial institutions, healthcare, and utilities by restricting how entities can monitor or limit personal choices. Key mechanisms include banning penalties for refusing medical procedures, preventing carbon tracking, and ensuring digital funds cannot be restricted based on political views.

Maddy summarySB 899 modifies Oklahoma's Protection from Domestic Abuse Act by requiring non-family victims (e.g., neighbors or coworkers) to file a police report with law enforcement before submitting a protective order petition to court. It also allows electronic service of orders across county lines and mandates courts to consider a defendant's criminal history when issuing orders. The bill changes penalty rules for violating protective orders but maintains existing provisions allowing courts to waive fees for victims who cannot afford them. These changes directly affect individuals seeking protection from domestic abuse who are not family members or in dating relationships with the abuser.
Maddy summarySB 205 creates a new research license for collecting patient-reported outcomes related to medical marijuana use in Oklahoma. It authorizes research institutions, healthcare organizations, licensed cannabis businesses, and private research companies to conduct studies on medical marijuana's impact on health conditions. Licensees must pay a $500 nonrefundable fee, and the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority will establish rules for application, compliance, and reporting. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 505 protects Oklahomans' rights to use 3D printing technology by prohibiting state and local governments from banning 3D printers, laser cutters, or additive manufacturing devices - including their software, equipment, and materials. The law explicitly states that individuals may use these tools without state or local restrictions, ensuring their rights are safeguarded under Oklahoma law. It applies directly to all residents and users of such technology across the state. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 313 requires county treasurers to transfer any excess proceeds from tax-defaulted property sales - after deducting costs and attempting to return funds to the property owner - to the State Treasurer for deposit into Oklahoma's Unclaimed Property Fund. This applies to funds left after a property is sold to cover delinquent taxes and associated fees, but no longer belong to the original owner. The bill ensures unclaimed money from these sales is centralized in the state’s unclaimed property system rather than remaining with counties. It affects county treasurers (who handle tax sales) and property owners (who may reclaim funds if unclaimed). The change takes effect November 1, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 823 increases the homestead tax exemption for manufactured home owners in Oklahoma. It allows residents of manufactured homes to qualify for the exemption even if they don't own the land the home sits on, provided it's their primary residence and meets other requirements. The bill amends existing tax code to expand eligibility under Sections 2812 and 2888, directly affecting manufactured home owners who previously might have been ineligible due to land ownership rules. This change aims to provide greater tax relief to qualifying homeowners.
Maddy summarySB 1103 protects individuals who intervene during a violent crime. It prohibits prosecution for reasonable actions taken to stop the crime or ensure the victim's safety until law enforcement arrives, regardless of the intervener's official role. The bill defines "violent crime" using existing Oklahoma law (Title 57, Section 571) and clarifies that such protective actions are deemed reasonable under the law. The measure becomes effective November 1, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 886, the Firearm Preservation Act, requires Oklahoma law enforcement agencies to auction firearms they obtain through court orders, estates, or forfeitures instead of destroying them. It mandates that these auctions be open only to individuals legally eligible to purchase firearms under state and federal law, with all proceeds funding agency operations. The bill prohibits liability for agencies if auctioned firearms are later used in incidents and requires detailed record-keeping for five years. It applies directly to state, county, and municipal law enforcement entities handling such firearms.
Maddy summarySB 560 requires a special election among property owners within one mile of a proposed turnpike route before the Oklahoma Legislature can authorize new turnpike projects, extensions, or routes. Approval requires a majority "yes" vote from these landowners, with the election organized by county election boards and requiring specific notice (three weeks of newspaper ads and 20 days of public postings). The bill also specifies acceptable proof of ownership for voting (like deeds or divorce decrees), limits votes for subdivided land, and mandates a new election if over four years pass since the last vote. It directly affects landowners adjacent to proposed turnpike corridors and takes effect November 1, 2025.
Maddy summarySB 477 amends Oklahoma's Milk and Milk Products Act to specifically exclude donkey milk from its regulations. The bill allows farmers to sell donkey milk directly to consumers at their farm, with sales limited to no more than 100 gallons per month (defined as "incidental sales"). This change directly affects small-scale farmers producing donkey milk by removing regulatory barriers for limited direct sales. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
