Maddy summarySB 2028 allows Oklahoma farmers to sell ungraded raw milk and raw milk products directly to consumers from their farms or via farm transport, without requiring a permit. It specifically permits incidental sales of goat milk up to an average of 1,500 gallons per month and exempts these direct farm sales from the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act's usual requirements. The bill repeals the existing permit requirement for such sales (previously Section 7-417) and adds a notification requirement for raw milk sales to inform consumers the product is unregulated. This primarily affects small-scale dairy farmers and consumers purchasing raw milk products directly from farms.

Maddy summaryHB 1082 modifies Oklahoma's child custody laws to prioritize joint custody arrangements when appropriate. It creates a rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equal parenting time are in a child's best interest, requiring parents to submit detailed joint custody plans covering living arrangements, child support, healthcare, and school placement. The bill strengthens protections for children and parents affected by child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, or harassment by establishing a rebuttable presumption against shared custody with perpetrators and making safety the primary factor in custody decisions. This law directly affects parents involved in Oklahoma custody disputes and courts handling such cases, effective November 1, 2025.

Maddy summarySB 2007 requires pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in Oklahoma to pay administrative fees to pharmacies when they adjust reimbursement rates for the same drug within 30 days after a successful appeal. Specifically, if a PBM increases reimbursement based on an appeal but then lowers it again for the same drug within 30 days, the PBM must pay $100 immediately, escalating to $500 after 90 days or $1,000 after 180 days if unpaid. The bill directly affects pharmacies and PBMs by mandating these fee payments for disputed reimbursements, ensuring providers aren’t financially penalized for legitimate appeal outcomes. It also includes other provisions like weekly MAC price updates and requirements for PBMs to provide clear documentation during reimbursement disputes. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 3407 creates a new lien for property owners who allow manufactured homes to be placed on their land. If a manufactured home owner doesn't control or use their home for 120 consecutive days, the property owner may claim a lien for the fair rental value of the home. This lien can be enforced like other property liens under Oklahoma law. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, directly affecting property owners and manufactured home residents.

Maddy summaryHB 3055 modifies the qualifications required for the Executive Director of Oklahoma's Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET). The bill specifies that the Executive Director must now hold a bachelor's or higher degree in law enforcement or a related field, plus a minimum of five years of active law enforcement experience - including roles in training, administration, or investigation. This change directly affects the CLEET leadership position, ensuring the director has advanced education and hands-on experience in law enforcement operations. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on personnel requirements for the Executive Director role, with no changes to CLEET's structure or policy functions.

Maddy summarySB 1452 creates a rebuttable presumption that joint custody is in a child's best interest for Oklahoma courts to consider in custody cases, unless evidence shows otherwise. It requires parents to submit detailed custody plans covering living arrangements, support, healthcare, and school placement, which courts must approve or adjust based on the child's welfare. The bill explicitly includes exceptions for cases involving child abuse, domestic violence, harassment, or stalking, prioritizing the safety of the child and the non-abusive parent. Courts must follow these procedures when making custody decisions, with modifications requiring court approval if they serve the child's best interests.

Maddy summaryHB 3428 requires Oklahoma employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees to display a veterans benefits poster in the workplace. The poster, created by the Oklahoma Department of Labor in collaboration with the Division of Veterans Services, must list specific resources including mental health services, education programs, tax benefits, veteran driver licenses, unemployment insurance eligibility, legal aid, and the VA Crisis Line contact. Employers must display the poster in a conspicuous location accessible to all employees. The law takes effect November 1, 2026, and directly affects large employers statewide by mandating clear access to veteran support services.

Maddy summaryThis bill (SB 862) is a minor procedural amendment to a bill about emergency management authority. It specifically changes wording on Page 2, Line 19 from "Imposing" to "Knowingly imposing" in the original text. The amendment does not create new policy or affect any specific group; it only refines the existing language regarding government authority during emergencies. As a technical wording adjustment, it has no substantive policy impact.

Maddy summarySB 1446 modifies Oklahoma's penalties for offenses involving child sexual abuse material and child sex trafficking. It increases penalties for "child prostitution sex trafficking" to a Class B1 felony, requiring a minimum 10-year prison sentence and escalating fines (up to $15,000 for repeat offenses). The bill directly affects individuals convicted of these specific crimes under Sections 1029 and 1030 of Oklahoma law. It also updates statutory references and includes community service requirements for related misdemeanor violations. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

Maddy summarySB 2125 amends Oklahoma's Milk and Milk Products Act to allow farmers to directly sell ungraded raw milk and raw milk products to consumers at their farms or at farmers markets, with a monthly limit of 1,500 gallons for small-scale sales. It eliminates the requirement for a permit for these sales, replaces it with a labeling rule requiring clear disclosure that the product is raw/unpasteurized and not inspected, and repeals the existing permit law (Section 7-417). The bill directly affects small-scale dairy farmers who produce milk on-site and sell directly to consumers, excluding large commercial operations. Key provisions include the 1,500-gallon monthly cap, mandatory labeling of raw milk status, and authorization for off-premises sales at farmers markets.
