HB 3972: Public finance; Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund; school district revenue loss; state purchases; emergency.

HB 3972 creates a state "Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund" to reimburse Oklahoma counties for property tax revenue losses caused by specific exemptions. It directly affects counties that lose revenue due to tax exemptions for new manufacturing facilities, veterans' homes (if exemptions exceed 0.8% of population), school district exemptions, buffer strip valuation changes, or state property purchases over $300 million (limited to two tax years). Counties must file claims by April 30 each year, with the Tax Commission reviewing them by June 15; reimbursements prioritize manufacturing exemptions and state property purchases before other claims. The fund is a revolving account with no fiscal year limits, and disbursements are exempt from standard spending caps. The bill takes immediate effect due to an emergency declaration.
