HB 4190 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation; Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit; motor vehicle insurance policy renewals; revolving fund; effective date.

HB 4190 creates a Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit within Oklahoma's State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) to investigate cyber-enabled crimes, financial fraud, and digital evidence cases. It funds the unit through a one-time $3 million appropriation from general funds and a new $2 annual fee on motor vehicle insurance renewals (collected by insurers and remitted to OSBI). The unit operates within OSBI's existing jurisdiction, using funds for personnel, technology, training, and operations, with all revenues deposited into a dedicated revolving fund. The bill requires OSBI to provide annual reports on fund usage and takes effect November 1, 2026.

MODERATE

The bill was amended by the Policy Committee to replace the original version with a revised text that maintains the core purpose of creating a Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit within the OSBI but adjusts specific language regarding jurisdiction, funding conditions, and fund management. The substantive policy goals remain largely the same, though the amendment clarifies the revolving fund structure and modifies how unexpended funds are handled.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains focused on creating a new Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit within the OSBI, but the amendment refines the statutory language describing the Unit's powers and the financial mechanisms supporting it.

FISCAL

The one-time appropriation of $3,000,000 was modified to include the condition 'subject to available funding,' adding a contingency that the full amount may not be guaranteed.

The creation of the OSBI Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit Revolving Fund was clarified to be a continuing fund not subject to fiscal year limitations, with expenditures requiring warrants from the State Treasurer.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for OSBI to provide an annual report to the Legislature and Governor was removed in the amendment version, though the intent to track unit performance remains in the fund's purpose description.

TECHNICAL

The amendment changed the codification section numbers from 152.1, 152.1a, and 152.1b to a single continuous structure, and updated the fee assessment language to clarify the revolving fund's purpose.
