It contains no substantive policy provisions or mechanisms beyond its naming and effective date.
HB 3282 repeals Oklahoma Statute § 850 (as amended), which previously addressed intimidation and harassment offenses.

HB 3318 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma State Government Act of 2026" and sets its effective date.

HB 3364 creates the "Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Audits and Oversight Act of 2026," establishing a new framework for oversight of the state's mental health and substance abuse services. The bill names the act and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026, but does not detail specific audit procedures or oversight mechanisms in the provided text. It directly affects the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse by requiring future implementation of this oversight structure. As a procedural bill naming the act and effective date, it does not describe concrete policy changes or affected populations beyond establishing the framework.
HB 3388 makes it illegal for landlords to advertise a rental property as having "all bills paid" (including utilities like water, sewer, gas, electricity, and trash) but then charge tenants extra for those utilities after signing a lease. This law directly affects landlords who misrepresent rental costs and tenants who could be misled by such advertising. It defines "bills" as basic utilities required for habitability and prohibits the practice as a deceptive trade practice under Oklahoma's Consumer Protection Act. Violators face existing penalties under that law, and the bill takes effect November 1, 2026.
HB 3293 is a procedural bill that names the "Children's Law Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026.

The bill serves as a formal naming and dating mechanism with no substantive provisions. This is a standard procedural step common in legislative processes.
HB 3307 allocates $5 million from Oklahoma's General Revenue Fund to establish a revolving fund specifically for veterans' traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment and recovery services. The funding supports the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs in providing TBI care to eligible veterans, directly benefiting veterans with TBI injuries who access state veterans' services. The bill becomes effective July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon approval. This is a funding measure with no new policy requirements, solely providing financial resources for existing TBI treatment programs.
HB 3317 modifies Oklahoma's medical marijuana patient license fees, reducing the biannual fee from $100 to $20 for eligible low-income residents enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare, or SoonerCare. The bill directly affects qualifying Oklahoma residents seeking medical marijuana patient licenses by lowering their cost of participation. Key provisions include establishing a new discounted fee tier, creating short-term licenses (60 days) for those with temporary physician recommendations, and temporary licenses (30 days) for out-of-state patients from regulated programs. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority must implement these changes within 60 days of the bill's passage, including website applications and license validation systems.
HJR 1059 proposes a constitutional amendment to make four Oklahoma state offices non-partisan: State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commissioner of Labor, and Commissioner of Insurance. If approved by voters, these positions would be elected through non-partisan elections rather than partisan contests. The amendment would change Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to reflect this election structure, requiring future candidates for these roles to run without party affiliation. The measure must be approved by Oklahoma voters in a referendum to take effect.
HB 3305 prohibits backdating vehicle registration periods for late renewals in Oklahoma. The bill directly affects vehicle owners who renew registration after the expiration date, requiring their new registration period to begin on the renewal date - not the original expiration date. Key provisions amend existing law to explicitly state that renewed registrations "shall not be backdated to the date of expiration," ending the practice of retroactively applying registration dates. This change applies to all vehicles subject to annual or biennial registration under Oklahoma law. The bill aims to clarify registration timing and prevent retroactive billing for late renewals.
