SB 436 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act; modifying certain exemption. Effective date.

SB 436 amends Oklahoma's Consumer Protection Act to clarify that claims related to taxes (like sales tax, use tax, or mixed beverage taxes) already paid to the state are exempt from the Act. Specifically, it adds "asserted injuries or damages" involving these tax collections to an existing exemption, meaning legal disputes over such taxes cannot be pursued under consumer protection laws. This change directly affects businesses or individuals filing claims about tax-related matters, but does not alter tax collection procedures or create new exemptions. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
