HB 1052 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Fire departments; activity reports; National Emergency Response Information System; effective date.

HB 1052 requires city fire departments, volunteer fire departments in unincorporated areas (via new Section 18 O.S. 595), and fire protection districts with over two paid firefighters to submit annual activity reports through the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS). These reports must include fire loss data, fire types, inspections, and immediate notification of fire-related civilian deaths/injuries or firefighter line-of-duty deaths/injuries requiring medical care - submitted within 48 hours of the incident. The bill amends existing statutes (11 O.S. 29-102 and 19 O.S. 901.7a) to standardize these reporting requirements under the State Fire Marshal’s oversight. It became law on May 7, 2025, with an effective date of November 1, 2025.
