HB 2956 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; Oklahoma Appraisal Management Company Regulation Act; ownership; report; effective date.

HB 2956 prohibits individuals with certain disciplinary histories from owning Oklahoma appraisal management companies (AMCs). Specifically, it bars anyone who had their appraiser credential refused, denied, suspended, revoked, or surrendered due to serious disciplinary action in any jurisdiction from owning or controlling an AMC. This directly affects potential AMC owners and ensures only those without such histories can hold ownership roles. The bill amends Oklahoma's Appraisal Management Company Regulation Act to establish this ownership requirement, focusing on accountability in the appraisal industry.

MODERATE

The bill text was converted from the House version to the Senate floor version, which involved renumbering sections and adding a specific date. The substantive legal definitions and requirements remain identical, though minor formatting adjustments were made to the list of defined terms.

TECHNICAL

The document header was changed from 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to 'SENATE FLOOR VERSION' and updated with the date April 23, 2026.

The bill number label was updated from 'AS INTRODUCED' to 'ENGROSSED HOUSE BILL NO. 2956' to reflect its progression through the legislative process.

Section numbering was reorganized to align with Senate formatting standards, shifting definitions from a continuous list to a numbered format.

Minor punctuation and spacing adjustments were made within the definitions section, such as adding 'Section' to the Affiliate definition and changing '12-month' to 'twelve-month' in the AMC definition.
