SB 1824 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Business entities; clarifying powers under the Oklahoma General Corporation act; authorizing certain contracts with certain shareholders or beneficial owners of stock. Effective date.

This bill amends Oklahoma's corporate law (sections 1033, 1034, and 1038 of Title 18) to clarify how corporations can issue stock and related rights. It allows boards of directors to authorize stock issuance for non-cash consideration (like property or services), sets minimum value requirements, and permits delegating issuance authority to specific people or bodies with clear limits on shares, timing, and minimum payment. The changes directly affect Oklahoma corporations by providing more flexibility in stock transactions while maintaining safeguards against undervalued issuances. The bill does not impact individual citizens or public policy but streamlines corporate governance procedures.
