HB 3266: Reckless driving; D2 felony offenses; making certain acts unlawful; effective date.

HB 3266 amends Oklahoma law to expand the definition of Class D2 felony offenses, adding 22 specific violations including reckless driving that causes a collision (Section 11-901, item 10). It also includes multiple abortion-related offenses such as performing abortions after the first trimester, violating pain-awareness laws, and conducting abortions on minors without consent (items 11-19). The bill specifies penalties: Class D2 felons face up to 2 years in prison (with 20% mandatory service), increasing to 5-10 years for repeat offenders. It exempts certain offenses (like abortion violations) from these penalties, instead applying existing statutes. This bill directly affects individuals convicted of these specific offenses under Oklahoma Statutes.

SB 2022 tightens Oklahoma's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) rules to strictly align with federal requirements. It imposes a 3-month time limit on SNAP benefits for able-bodied adults aged 18-50 without dependents (ABAWDs) within any 36-month period, unless they work at least 20 hours weekly. The bill prohibits Oklahoma from creating new exemptions or relaxing federal work requirements, mandates individualized case-by-case exemptions only, and bans any policy that expands eligibility or delays federal enforcement. It requires the Oklahoma Department of Human Services to use federal income/asset limits for eligibility and strictly adhere to federal verification standards.

SB 1709: Firearms; conforming statutory reference. Effective date.

SB 1709 amends Oklahoma's Class D2 criminal offenses to include 12 abortion-related violations, such as performing an abortion without a license, after the first trimester, or on an unemancipated minor. The bill specifies that these abortion offenses will be punished under their original statutes (not standard Class D2 penalties), while other Class D2 offenses (like escape or assault) follow standard sentencing. It repeals Section 1289.18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which previously referenced the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971 - a reference now deemed inconsistent. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026, and directly affects individuals convicted of these specific abortion-related crimes. Note: Despite its title referencing firearms, the bill’s content is solely about abortion criminalization.

SB 1737: Schools; prohibiting public school districts from offering a sex education class or program. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1737 prohibits Oklahoma public school districts from offering any sex education class or program. It removes existing statutory requirements that previously allowed districts to provide such instruction (under specific abstinence-focused guidelines) and eliminates parental opt-out procedures for sex education. The bill amends Oklahoma statutes (25 O.S. § 2003 and 70 O.S. § 11-105.1) to delete language about developing sex education policies, curriculum approval, and parental inspection rights related to sex education. This directly affects public school districts, students, and parents by preventing the provision of formal sex education in Oklahoma schools.

SB 2020: Parental rights; granting certain rights and protections to parent or legal guardian; modifying disclosure requirements; authorizing certain civil actions. Effective date.

SB 2020 strengthens parental access to information about minor children by modifying Oklahoma's medical, educational, and counseling privacy laws. It removes minors' ability to block parents from accessing confidential communications with healthcare providers (amending 12 O.S. §2503) and clarifies parental rights to review school records, direct education, and make healthcare decisions (amending 25 O.S. §2002). The bill also revises medical treatment laws (63 O.S. §2602) to limit when minors can consent to treatment without parental involvement and updates disclosure rules for counselors (59 O.S. §§1910, 1939). These changes directly affect parents, legal guardians, and minors under 18 in healthcare, education, and counseling settings.

SB 1785, the "Citizen's Bill of Rights," prohibits Oklahoma government and businesses from forcing digital payment systems without alternatives, monitoring spending habits, or denying services based on personal characteristics like race or political views.

The bill specifically restricts entities from using digital identification for travel or employment restrictions, tracking carbon usage, or penalizing personal agricultural practices. It applies to all state and federal government entities, businesses, and their agents operating in Oklahoma. The law aims to prevent coercion in financial, medical, energy, and personal freedom decisions while requiring publication of AI-related reports.
