SB 751 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Architects; modifying certain construction value. Effective date.

Senate Bill 751 modifies the Oklahoma State Architectural and Licensed Interior Designers Act. It changes the financial threshold for when certain public building projects are exempt from requiring a licensed architect. Specifically, the bill raises this exemption from $158,000 to $300,000 for construction, additions, or alterations to buildings used by state, county, municipal, or federal government entities, as well as public trusts and agencies. This means government projects below the new $300,000 value will not be required to use a licensed architect.
