SB 1894: Teachers; professional development programs; changing maximum number of professional development hours. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1894 removes a 150-hour cap on required professional development for Oklahoma certified teachers over any five-year period, directly affecting all teachers in public school districts. The bill maintains existing mandatory trainings on autism, dyslexia, child abuse recognition, and racial/ethnic education but eliminates the previous limit on total hours. It also requires school districts to electronically submit annual reports to the State Department of Education detailing professional development activities, costs, and outcomes. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and was declared an emergency to take immediate effect upon approval.

SB 237: Ad valorem tax; exemption for manufacturing facilities; defining battery energy storage system; exemption; applications. Effective date.

SB 237 requires the Commissioners of the Land Office to make payments to certain counties instead of collecting ad valorem taxes from them. This change directly affects counties that currently receive tax revenue from state-owned lands and the state agency responsible for managing those lands. The bill establishes a new payment mechanism to replace the existing tax collection process, ensuring counties receive their share of land-related revenue. The legislation is currently in the early stages of review by the Appropriations and Budget committee.

SB 423: Medical records; access; eliminating certain health care provider duties; authorizing certain fees. Effective date.

SB 423 updates Oklahoma's medical records access law by establishing standardized fees for patients and their representatives to obtain copies of medical records. Patients pay $0.50 per page for standard records, $15 for printed x-rays, and $20 for x-rays on CD/DVD, with providers prohibited from charging for searching or preparing records for the patient. The bill excludes psychological, psychiatric, mental health, and substance abuse records from these provisions, requiring separate access under different legal processes. It also sets higher fees for third parties (e.g., $20 base fee plus per-page charges for attorneys), while maintaining existing rules for disability-related requests.

S 1051: Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act

This bill establishes the Historic Greenwood District - Black Wall Street National Monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to preserve and interpret the history of the Greenwood District (known as "Black Wall Street"), the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and their significance to Oklahoma and U.S. history. It defines the monument's boundary using a specific map, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land via donation or purchase, and requires a management plan within three years. The bill creates an 11-member advisory commission composed of 7 descendants of 1921 Greenwood residents, 3 historic preservation experts, and 1 Tulsa mayoral appointee, serving for up to 10 years. The monument will be managed by the National Park Service under standard park system rules, with no impact on private property rights within the designated area.

HR 5267: American Franchise Act

HR 5267, the American Franchise Act, clarifies when franchisors can be considered joint employers of franchisee employees under federal labor laws. It defines "substantial direct and immediate control" over essential employment terms like wages, benefits, hours, hiring, and discipline - requiring franchisors to actively set these terms to be deemed joint employers. The bill explicitly excludes routine brand standards, training, or minimal safety requirements from constituting such control. This directly affects franchisors and franchisees by limiting joint employer liability to cases where franchisors exert significant, ongoing influence over core employment decisions. The law applies prospectively to new cases after enactment, not past disputes.

HR 3495: Direct Seller and Real Estate Agent Harmonization Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to clarify that direct sellers and qualified real estate agents (as defined under IRS rules) are not considered "employees" under federal labor law. It directly affects these workers by excluding them from FLSA protections like minimum wage and overtime pay. The key provision inserts a new definition into the law, changing how these professions are classified for labor rights purposes. This is a technical definitional change, not a new policy or program.

SB 1264: Crimes and punishment; Class A3 and B3 offenses; assault and battery; modifying certain definition; repealers. Effective date.

SB 1264 consolidates and updates Oklahoma's assault and battery statutes by repealing outdated references to prior amendments of Section 644 of Title 21. It removes four previous versions of the statute (amended by Chapters 147, 162, 322, and 486 of the 2025 Oklahoma Statutes) to streamline the current legal language. The bill directly affects courts, law enforcement, and legal practitioners who apply these statutes in criminal cases.

SB 1687: Driver licenses; adding certain age requirement to qualification for certain license; permitting certain persons to proctor certain examination. Effective date.

SB 1687 raises the minimum age requirement for certain driver's license privileges in Oklahoma from 15 to 16 years old. The bill specifically updates Section 6-105 to require applicants for learner permits to be at least 16, while maintaining existing provisions for parent-taught driver education programs certified by Service Oklahoma. It also adds new requirements for intermediate license holders, including passenger restrictions and nighttime driving limitations. The bill directly affects teenagers seeking driver's licenses, particularly those under 18 navigating Oklahoma's graduated licensing system. These changes update existing statutory language without altering the core structure of the state's driver licensing process.
