HB 2926 modifies Oklahoma's funeral vendor payment rules in the Administrative Code. It directly affects active funeral establishments and their vendors by changing how penalties for late payments are applied. Key provisions require penalties to be imposed only after a court judgment (not automatically), apply solely to the funeral establishment (not individual directors), mandate compliance with federal bankruptcy laws, and require proper consumer fund receipts for advance cash payments. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
