HB 3931: Death certificates; amendment of certificate or record; corrections of a death certificate after one year; emergency.

HB 3931 amends Oklahoma's death certificate correction procedures. It allows funeral directors to correct non-medical errors (like misspellings) on death certificates within one year of issuance without marking the certificate "amended," using written requests or sworn statements. For corrections requested one year or more after issuance, applicants must file a petition with the Administrative Hearing Clerk, providing clear evidence of factual errors, and bear the burden of proof. The bill also includes a separate provision requiring biological sex designations on amended birth certificates to be strictly "male" or "female," prohibiting nonbinary options. This bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

HB 4226: Courts; disqualification of judges; motion; directing chief judge of the county; presiding judge of administrative district; rehearing; effective date.

HB 4226 changes Oklahoma court procedures for requesting a judge's disqualification. It requires parties in a case to first ask the judge directly to step aside in private (in camera), and if denied, file a formal motion within 10 days before trial. The judge must rule on the motion within 15 days, and denied motions can be appealed to the chief judge (or presiding judge if the chief is involved) within 5 days for a ruling within 30 days. This process affects anyone involved in court cases who believes a judge should recuse themselves, adding clear timelines to the disqualification request system. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

HB 4430: Medical malpractice; Physician Assistant Act requirements; Advanced Practice Registered Nurse malpractice insurance requirements; compliance; effective date.

HB 4430 changes Oklahoma's rules for physician assistants (PAs) by allowing those with 6,240+ hours of postgraduate clinical experience to practice without physician supervision. PAs meeting this threshold must report their hours to the State Board online (no fee), and the Board will maintain a public list of qualifying PAs. PAs with fewer hours or unreported experience must maintain practice agreements with physicians, including telecommunication requirements and regular reviews. The bill also clarifies prescription authority: experienced PAs can prescribe without delegation, while supervised PAs must follow their physician's delegated protocols, especially for controlled substances.

HB 4118: Family caregiver credit; mileage; eligible expenditures; age requirement; eligible family member; effective date.

HB 4118 proposes a tax credit for Oklahoma caregivers of eligible family members. It allows a 50% credit on qualifying expenses - such as medical travel mileage, home modifications, medical equipment, and hiring aides - for caregivers with income under $50,000 (or $100,000 for couples) caring for someone aged 62+ who needs help with two or more daily living tasks (like bathing, dressing, or eating). The credit caps at $2,000 annually per family, rising to $3,000 if the care recipient is a veteran or has dementia. The total annual credit pool is limited to $1.5 million, with unused funds adjusted yearly. If passed, it would take effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1642: Controlled dangerous substances; authorizing divided quantities for certain acute pain opioid prescriptions. Effective date.

SB 1642 allows healthcare providers to issue initial opioid prescriptions for acute pain in "divided quantities" (e.g., splitting a seven-day supply into two parts to be filled on different dates), while still counting as a single prescription under the seven-day limit. It directly affects doctors and other prescribers who treat acute pain with opioids, requiring them to use immediate-release drugs at the lowest effective dose. Key provisions include mandating "do not fill until" dates for the second part of the divided prescription and requiring documentation of the rationale for splitting. The bill maintains existing requirements like seven-day limits, thorough patient consultations about opioid risks, and prescription monitoring checks.

SB 1873: Roofing Contractor Registration Act; requiring continuing education to be determined and approved by certain persons; requiring valid endorsement to work. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1873 requires residential roofing contractors in Oklahoma to obtain a special certification by passing an exam (70% minimum score) or completing 10 hours of approved continuing education. Existing contractors registered with the Construction Industries Board before January 1, 2027, have until January 1, 2028, to meet this requirement, while new applicants must comply within 30 days of passing the exam. The law exempts roofing laborers who only provide labor under a licensed contractor and do not supply materials. It takes effect January 1, 2027, with an emergency clause allowing immediate implementation after approval.

SB 1984: Practice of osteopathic medicine; modifying various provisions of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Medicine Act. Effective date.

SB 1984 amends Oklahoma's Osteopathic Medicine Act to modernize regulations for osteopathic physicians and the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners. It clarifies definitions (like "emergency" and "emergency suspension"), expands the Board's subpoena power and authority to design exams, and updates disciplinary procedures by adding/removing grounds for action. The bill also requires electronic license renewals, clarifies telemedicine practice rules (requiring a proper patient record for remote care), and specifies conditions for emergency license suspensions. These changes directly affect licensed osteopathic physicians in Oklahoma, the regulatory Board, and patients through updated oversight and licensing processes.

SB 1623: Credit unions; requiring certain records to be filed with Bank Commissioner; allowing investments; providing requirements for credit unions; establishing compensations. Effective date.

SB 1623 updates Oklahoma's credit union laws to require applicants to obtain specific insurance and allows the Oklahoma State Credit Union Board to prohibit certain insurers from providing coverage. It expands credit unions' investment flexibility, including new authority to manage virtual currency and provide custody services for member assets under specific conditions. The bill also adjusts investment limits, mandates capitalization standards, and requires annual disclosure of board compensation. These changes directly affect all Oklahoma credit unions by modifying their insurance requirements, investment options, and service capabilities. The law aims to modernize regulatory standards while maintaining oversight of credit union operations.

SB 2135: Counties; authorizing counties to utilize purchasing cards through depositories. Emergency.

SB 2135 allows Oklahoma counties to use purchasing cards (like debit cards) through banks or financial institutions for small transactions, replacing traditional bidding for these purchases. It directly affects county governments and their purchasing agents by adding this option for routine, low-value items under specific transaction limits. The bill requires counties to set internal controls, publish card usage policies, and follow existing bidding rules for larger purchases. This change streamlines minor procurement without altering the core bidding process for significant county expenditures.

SB 1427: Public health; mandating certain pediatric screenings for type 1 diabetes; providing for certain reimbursement and funding. Effective date.

SB 1427 requires all Oklahoma children to be screened for type 1 diabetes during routine checkups at ages 5 and 12 by their primary care providers, using accepted medical practices. The bill mandates that these screenings be reimbursed through Oklahoma's Medicaid program (pending federal approval) and directs the State Department of Health to seek additional funding to support the screenings. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board and State Commissioner of Health must create implementing rules for reimbursement and screening protocols. This law applies to all children in Oklahoma and takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1621: Law libraries; requiring law libraries to be represented by district attorney. Effective date.

SB 1621 requires Oklahoma county law libraries, their boards, and employees to receive free legal representation from the local district attorney for matters related to their official duties. If a district attorney cannot serve due to a conflict of interest, the state Attorney General's office must provide that representation instead. The bill mandates this free legal assistance for all county law libraries and codifies the requirement in Oklahoma law. It takes effect November 1, 2026.

SB 1884: School employees; modifying the access statewide professional educators' associations have to school employees; allowing termination of certain membership at any time. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1884 ensures school districts grant statewide professional educators' associations (like teacher unions) equal access to school employees for activities such as distributing materials, speaking at meetings, and using school facilities. It prohibits schools from conditioning this access on fees, meals, or donations and requires districts to notify the State Board of Education if access is denied within 15 days. The bill also allows school employees to terminate membership in these associations at any time without restrictions or requiring a reason, and invalidates any existing agreements that limit this right. These changes take effect July 1, 2026, applying directly to school employees and educators' associations in Oklahoma.
