HB 4263 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Public retirement systems; Oklahoma Pension Legislation Actuarial Analysis Act; Teachers' Retirement System; employees of Department of Career and Technology Education; effective dates.

HB 4263 establishes definitions for analyzing pension-related legislation in Oklahoma, focusing on identifying "nonfiscal retirement bills" that don't change system costs or funding. It defines a "nonfiscal retirement bill" as one that, for example, doesn't increase benefits, create new liabilities, or alter normal costs for systems like the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System or Teachers' Retirement System. The bill requires legislative staff to use these definitions when reviewing pension bills, ensuring only cost-impacting measures undergo full actuarial review. This affects legislators, committee staff, and the Legislative Service Bureau when processing pension-related bills. The bill is procedural and does not change retirement benefits or funding.

What changed between versions

House Committee Substitute Floor (House) · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a committee substitute draft to the official House Floor version, primarily changing the header information and page numbering. The substantive legal text regarding retirement system definitions and actuarial rules remains unchanged, though the visual presentation of the definitions has been adjusted to standard floor format.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the 'House of Representatives - Floor Version' instead of the committee substitute label, and page footers were updated with new tracking numbers.

The layout of the definitions section was restructured with different indentation and spacing to comply with floor printing standards, but the actual legal definitions remain identical.
