HB 3620 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

The 2030 Census; 2030 Census Complete Count Committee; duties and responsibilities; State Data Center; report; effective date.

HB 3620 creates Oklahoma's 2030 Census Complete Count Committee to ensure an accurate population count for the 2030 U.S. Census. The 16-member committee - including legislative leaders, state/local government representatives, nonprofit leaders, and minority group advocates - will develop outreach strategies to boost participation, especially in hard-to-count communities. Key duties include creating a multilingual campaign, partnering with schools and community organizations, improving housing data, and making annual recommendations to state leaders. The committee must submit a final report by June 2030 and hold at least one meeting per year starting July 2027. This procedural bill directly affects all Oklahoma residents by influencing how federal funding and representation are determined based on census data.
