HB 3320 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Sunsets; removing sunsets from certain agencies, boards, and commissions; repealing the Oklahoma Sunset Act; repealers; emergency.

HB 3320 repeals Oklahoma's Sunset Act, which automatically terminated state agencies, boards, and commissions after fixed periods unless reauthorized by the legislature. The bill removes automatic termination dates for specific entities like the Oklahoma Abstractors Board, State Board of Examiners of Certified Shorthand Reporters, and the Board of Chiropractic, making their continued operation permanent without future legislative approval. This change eliminates the need for periodic reauthorization votes on these bodies. The bill also repeals related statutes that were part of the Sunset Act framework.

MODERATE

The bill text was reformatted to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate, including updated sponsor lists and a revised title page. The substantive description of the bill's purpose remains consistent, detailing amendments to various state boards and commissions under the sunset review process.

TECHNICAL

The header and sponsor list were updated to include 'Hill' and 'Thompson' as additional sponsors, reflecting their addition to the bill during the legislative process.

The title page was changed from 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to 'SENATE FLOOR VERSION' to indicate the bill's current stage in the legislative process.

The bill title was slightly rephrased from 'An Act relating sunsets' to 'An Act relating to sunsets' for grammatical correctness.

The descriptive text listing the specific statutes and boards being amended was reorganized and reflowed to fit the new Senate formatting layout, though the legal content and list of affected entities appear unchanged.
