HB 1798 allows Oklahoma municipalities to use general revenue funds to purchase one-way bus tickets for individuals without a permanent residence who are leaving the state. The bill directly affects homeless or transient residents who lack stable housing and need transportation out of Oklahoma. It permits cities and towns to allocate existing budget resources for this purpose, without requiring new funding. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025.
