Maddy summaryHB 3386 modifies Oklahoma's landlord-tenant law by requiring court-supervised mediation before a landlord can terminate a lease due to unpaid rent when minor children reside in the rental unit. For all other tenants without minor children, landlords may still terminate leases after a 5-day grace period following written notice of unpaid rent. The bill amends Section 131 of Title 41 O.S. 2021 and becomes effective November 1, 2026, directly affecting landlords and tenants in households with minor children facing rent delinquency.

Maddy summaryHB 3391 requires commercial pet breeders in Oklahoma to display their license number (issued by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry) on all advertisements for pet sales. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture must create rules to enforce this requirement, including setting fines for breeders who fail to comply. This law directly affects commercial breeders selling pets for profit and takes effect on November 1, 2026. The bill aims to increase transparency in pet sales by making licensing information visible to consumers.

Maddy summaryHB 3396 requires Oklahoma state and local governments to publicly disclose the identity of private businesses that will benefit from public funds used for major economic development projects before any payments are made. It applies to projects involving business entities spending over $5 million on property improvements or acquisitions within 90 days of receiving public revenue (like tax funds or bonds). Governments must post this disclosure online at least 60 days prior to payments, ensuring transparency about which companies receive public money. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3389 limits how landlords in Oklahoma can charge for pets. Landlords may charge either a refundable deposit covering actual pet damage (which must be returned if no damage occurs) or a nonrefundable one-time fee for having a pet, but cannot charge both or impose recurring "pet rent" fees. The law directly affects renters with pets and landlords, prohibiting ongoing monthly charges for pet ownership. It takes effect November 1, 2026, and aims to prevent excessive or recurring pet-related fees.

Maddy summaryHB 3394 creates a public directory of large data centers in Oklahoma, requiring electric utilities and water providers to report annual electricity and water usage data to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The directory, updated yearly on the Commission's website, will include facility location, electricity use (in megawatt-hours), peak electrical demand, water usage (in gallons), and water source. This affects hyperscale data centers (defined as facilities over 50,000 sq ft with at least 10,000 MWh annual electricity use) and the utilities/water providers serving them. The law protects sensitive infrastructure details while making aggregated data publicly accessible, with penalties for non-compliance.

Maddy summaryHB 3387 would amend Oklahoma's sales tax code to add prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses to the list of items exempt from sales tax. This change specifically affects consumers purchasing these items with a valid prescription, expanding an existing exemption for prescription drugs (covered under Section 1357, paragraph 9). The bill modifies the tax code to explicitly include these vision care products under the same exemption as prescription medications. It does not alter tax rates or create new administrative requirements, simply extending the current exemption to cover these items.

Maddy summaryHB 3392 defines "large load customers" as commercial or industrial entities (like data centers, AI facilities, or advanced manufacturing sites) with a minimum 50-megawatt electricity demand. It requires the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to study how these customers impact grid infrastructure, system reliability, electricity rates, and cost allocation to ensure they fairly bear incremental service costs. The Commission must assess whether current rate structures shift costs to residential or smaller commercial customers and report findings by December 1, 2027. This bill directly affects electric utilities, large commercial customers meeting the definition, and all ratepayers through potential rate adjustments. The study aims to inform future regulatory decisions on infrastructure investments and cost fairness.

Maddy summaryHB 3390 requires the Oklahoma Department of Human Services to update its Provider Search website to include specific information about Home and Community Based programs, directly affecting agencies providing Advantage Waiver, Living Choice, Medically Fragile Waiver, and State Plan Personal Care services. The website must display a rating system, inspection reports, substantiated complaints, administrator details, and a link to report issues to the State Department of Health. Agencies must update their information annually to maintain accuracy on the site. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3399 is a procedural bill that names the "Oklahoma Nursing Home Care Standards Modernization Act of 2026" and sets its effective date as November 1, 2026. The bill text does not describe any substantive policy changes, regulations, or provisions affecting nursing home operations or residents. It is designated as noncodified, meaning it will not be added to Oklahoma's official statutes. Since no specific mechanisms or affected parties are detailed in the provided text, this bill appears to serve only a naming and procedural purpose at this stage.

Maddy summaryHB 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.
