HB 3435 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Cities and towns; municipal bond proposals; one subject; ballot title; effective date.

HB 3435 requires Oklahoma cities and towns to include only one clear subject in the ballot title for any municipal bond proposal voted on by citizens. It allows multiple bond proposals on the same ballot if each requires a separate vote, but prohibits proposals where bond funds would be spent across multiple municipal agencies or departments. This bill directly affects local governments preparing bond measures for voter approval, ensuring ballot titles accurately reflect single-purpose funding requests.

MODERATE

The bill was updated from its 'Engrossed' version to the 'Floor Version' for the House of Representatives. The primary changes involve formatting updates to reflect the current legislative session (2026) and the addition of a committee report indicating the bill passed the Government Oversight Committee. The substantive policy language regarding municipal bond proposals remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Updated the header and session information to reflect the 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature (2026) and changed the status from 'Engrossed' to 'Floor Version'.

Inserted a committee report stating the bill was passed by the Committee on Government Oversight on 03/03/2026.

Adjusted the summary of the act to replace the word 'circumstances' with 'test' in the description of how violations are determined.

Removed the original passage dates for the House and Senate, as these are placeholders for the final floor vote.
