HB 2157: Renewable energy; stating legislative intent; creating the Oklahoma Agrivoltaics Act; emergency.

HB 2157, also known as the "Oklahoma Agrivoltaics Act," aims to encourage renewable energy development in Oklahoma in a way that supports agriculture, ranching, and forestry. The bill establishes the Oklahoma Agrivoltaics Advisory Committee, composed of 17 members from various state agencies, universities, and relevant industries. This Committee is tasked with identifying tools, developing policy options, and encouraging educational materials for siting renewable energy projects while minimizing their impact on agricultural lands. The bill also requires the Corporation Commission, in consultation with the Committee, to submit a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2026, detailing existing initiatives, policy recommendations, and research needs. Finally, it creates the Oklahoma Agrivoltaics Cash Revolving Fund to support these efforts.

HB 2136: Militia; creating the Oklahoma National Guard Supplemental Retirement Pay Revolving Fund; applicability; eligibility; payment amounts; effective date.

HB 2136 creates a special revolving fund in the Oklahoma State Treasury to provide supplemental retirement pay to qualifying Oklahoma National Guard members. It directly affects members with 25+ years of service who retired from the National Guard but were ineligible for full federal retirement benefits due to age before the bill's effective date. The fund calculates payments based on what members would have received at full retirement age plus annual cost-of-living adjustments, paid monthly until they begin receiving federal benefits. Payments stop once federal benefits start, and the fund becomes operational on November 1, 2027. The bill does not apply to those retiring with active-duty military pensions.

HB 1889: Retirement; Retirement Reform Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 1889, the "Retirement Reform Act of 2025," proposes an adjustment to retirement benefits for specific groups of retirees within Oklahoma's public retirement systems, referred to as "Tweeners." These "Tweeners" are members or beneficiaries who retired within certain windows in the 1980s and were not eligible for previous benefit increases or deferred option plans. Effective July 1, 2025, the bill directs the relevant Retirement Boards to increase benefits for eligible individuals receiving payments as of June 30, 2025. The adjustment aims to fully restore any purchasing power lost due to inflation since their initial benefit date, using the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) to calculate the difference between their current benefit and an inflation-adjusted target benefit.

It eliminates requirements that stores only sell alcohol from certain wholesalers, that they close containers during sampling, and that they limit sales hours (except Sunday sales in counties that choose to allow it). The bill also removes the rule preventing sales in cities/towns with populations under 200 people and clarifies that using debit cards or credit cards does not count as extending credit. The bill failed in committee on April 24, 2025, and did not become law.

HB 2751: Wind energy; legislative findings; setback requirement for certain affected counties; waiver; referral of question to eligible voters of a county; requiring Corporation Commission to maintain database; emergency.

HB 2751 proposes setback requirements for wind energy towers in Oklahoma counties with specific population density (>8.5 people/sq mile) or low wind speed (<9.5 mph). It requires towers to be placed at least 2.5 times their tip height or 1/4 mile from nearby properties, whichever is greater, and allows counties to vote to waive this requirement via referendum every five years. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission must maintain a public database tracking which counties have active setback rules. The bill failed in the Energy Committee on April 24, 2025, and remains pending. This would directly affect property owners and wind energy developers in designated counties.
