HCR 1009 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Concurrent Resolution; Credit for Caring Act for family caregivers.

HCR 1009 is a procedural concurrent resolution (not a bill) passed by the Oklahoma legislature. It urges Oklahoma's U.S. congressional delegation to support the federal **Credit for Caring Act**, which would provide working family caregivers with a $5,000 annual tax credit to offset caregiving costs. The resolution highlights that Oklahoma has 490,000 family caregivers contributing $6.6 billion in unpaid care annually, facing significant out-of-pocket expenses. It does not create new state law but advocates for federal action to support caregivers.
