This summary of the bills is long. There are four sections to it if you want to scroll to a different section.

1) Good and bad bills passed for 2026 and sent to the governor
2) Good bills not receiving a committee hearing/vote (ignored by leadership) thus NOT passed

3) Terrible bills NOT passed by the grace of God

So here we go with the summary of the bills by section.

SB1177 Hall/Caldwell, T – The 2027 budget spending more than ever before. This bill was a shell bill but changed to a 54 page 2027 budget bill dumped on legislators on a Sunday night to be voted on the next day. Unacceptable votes basically conservatives vs rino uniparty.

What about everyone else’s kids? HB 4326, as amended, alters the qualifications for the Oklahoma Promise Scholarship by expanding the definition of certified teacher to include counselors, libraries, nurses, and athletic trainers, as well as alternatively certified teachers. Eligibility is extended to the adopted children of teachers, or those children in the legal care of a certified teacher. The measure also extends the deadline for homeschooled students to qualify and apply to the age of 18 and allows students to use an OHLAP scholarship at a Career Tech school. The measure will increase the eligible pool of individuals by approximately 10-15%, or about 100 students, based on estimated numbers from the Regents.

(approved by governor)

SB1730 Thompson/MANGER – Directs the law enforcement officer who receives a report or complaint that, if substantiated, would result in the defendant being required to register as a sex offender.

NO (There should be no person required to register as a sex offender on an allegation without conviction). NO (governor VETO)

SB2060 Haste/LAWSON – This bill is the same as SQ833 in 2024 that the voters rejected so Haste decided to do a run around voter approval and submit this bill instead: Creation of master development districts (TIF), which shall provide for special levies against the real property therein for the financing or repayment of the costs of the master development district’s public improvements. The measure requires the governing body of a municipality to approve the application to create the district if the applicant shows that 100% of the owners have consented to its creation and the project area consists of at least 250 acres or the proposed investment exceeds $250 million.

DHS estimates an additional 2,600 individuals would be covered by this measure and estimates cost of $28,011,000 with a state share of $14,040,000. (there was ZERO NO votes on this bill in house and senate. At 18, a person is considered an adult who can marry or join the military. Foster children have been provided for in foster care as other peoples’ kids NOT in foster care have been provided for. Both foster kids and non-foster kids when they turn 18 are on EQUAL FOOTING so why do foster kids get state taxpayer support for 3 more years when everyone else’s kids parents pay for their own kids PLUS foster care kids after they are 18? This is not the responsibility of government or the Oklahoma taxpayer!) NO! (to gov)

HB2766 Paxton/HILBERT and appropriations chairmen from both chambers today released the following statements after the $12.59 billion state budget bill for Fiscal Year 2026 passed off the Senate floor:

“This budget delivers a $121 million increase for public education, addresses the funding shortfall at the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and provides additional resources to improve roads, bridges, public safety, health care and critical infrastructure across Oklahoma. At the same time, this budget keeps $3.5 billion in savings” and “This budget is a reflection of Oklahoma’s values—responsible, conservative, and focused on real results,” said Pro Tem Paxton. “We’re prioritizing core services like education, mental health, public safety and infrastructure, while maintaining strong fiscal discipline. I’m proud of the Senate’s work and the collaboration with our House colleagues to deliver a budget that supports families, strengthens communities and keeps Oklahoma taxpayers in mind. Now we send it to the governor’s desk to move Oklahoma forward.” (see Paxton press release May 22, 2026) THIS IS THE BIGGEST BUDGET PASSED IN OKLAHOMA HISTORY–it is NOT “conservative.”
