Transcript Highlights:
- With 16i, zero nay, and one more flow up, we will declare your bill out of committee. Thank you.
Summary:
The committee heard a series of bills, mostly on broadband, artificial intelligence, business law, public safety, funeral services, health care transparency, and licensing. HB 2293 extended the Oklahoma Broadband Office sunset to December 31, 2030 to allow it to administer remaining broadband grant funds. HB 3545 set standards for state agency use of AI, including human oversight for high-risk decisions, transparency for AI-generated content, and annual public reporting. HB 3546 prohibited AI systems and other non-human entities from being granted legal personhood under Oklahoma law. HB 3260 added the Oklahoma Funeral Directors Association to the list of approved continuing education providers for funeral directors. HB 3147 created a Route 66 centennial specialty license plate to support preservation and centennial activities, HB 3369 eased food truck fire code requirements by allowing portable extinguishers instead of mandatory automatic suppression systems, HB 4453 created the Oklahoma Health Care Cost Transparency Board, HB 3660 addressed national organic reduction, HB 3081 lowered the age for fire extinguisher technicians from 21 to 18, HB 2035 allowed funeral homes to sell certain third-party transportation packages, and HB 3498 modernized corporate and LLC statutes to improve Oklahoma’s competitiveness for business formation.
Most bills were presented by their authors, several with proposed committee substitutes or corrections that were adopted without objection. Members asked a few questions, particularly on the AI bills, the Route 66 plate, the food truck fire code change, and the corporate law modernization. The AI personhood bill drew discussion about legal liability and human rights, while the corporate code bill was described as modeled on Delaware-style business law to attract and retain companies in Oklahoma.
Votes were largely unanimous in favor. HB 3545, HB 3546, HB 3260, HB 3147, HB 3369, HB 4453, HB 3081, HB 2035, and HB 3498 all received do-pass recommendations, with vote totals ranging from 11-0 to 16-0. HB 3660 passed 15-1. HB 3673 was laid over at the author’s request, and Chairman West’s bill was also laid over to the committee’s next meeting on Thursday.

Summary:
The Senate Administrative Rules Committee met to discuss upcoming rule-review packets and then considered three measures sponsored by Senator Bergstrom. Chairman Bergstrom said the committee’s first packet covered judiciary rules, a second packet on education would follow, and members were expected to review the materials and raise questions so agencies could provide written responses.
Senate Bill 1273 created the Oklahoma State Agency, Board, and Commission Review Task Force to examine the efficiency, effectiveness, and necessity of state agencies, boards, and commissions and recommend legislative action. Members asked about overlap with existing committee work and whether the task force would require staff or create a fiscal impact. Bergstrom said it would use existing House and Senate staff and should have no fiscal impact. The bill passed 9-0.
Senate Bill 1433, the Guidance Transparency Act, would require state agencies to publicly disclose guidance documents, memos, bulletins, and similar materials in a searchable database so they cannot function as undisclosed rules. Bergstrom said the measure was intended to prevent agencies from regulating through unofficial guidance and that the governor’s office and Secretary of State supported it. After questions about staffing and whether agencies could evade disclosure, the bill passed 7-2. House Joint Resolution 1032 would align Service Oklahoma rules with existing law and prior executive action regarding changes to birth certificates and state IDs related to sex or gender identity changes; Bergstrom said the rules, not statutes, were being moved. It passed 7-2. The meeting ended with Bergstrom urging members to review the rule packets and submit questions before adjournment.

2026 Legislative Session - Day Fifteen - Wednesday, February 4 -Afternoon Session-
Missouri House Floor Meeting
Transcript Highlights:
- By your vote of 56 ayes, zero nays, and 62 present, you have established a quorum.
Summary:
The House began by noting the absence of a quorum and then establishing one by roll call. The chamber then took up House Bill 1788, with the sponsor moving the bill be perfected and printed and moving adoption of a House Committee Substitute and its title. The bill was described as a campaign finance measure prompted by reports of deceptive recurring donation solicitations during a prior governor’s race, including a case involving a Nebraska veteran who unknowingly continued making contributions.
The core of HB 1788 requires affirmative opt-in consent for recurring political donations, rather than an opt-out checkbox, and requires clear cancellation information and receipts. A House Amendment was adopted after the sponsor explained it was mostly language cleanup requested by the Missouri Ethics Commission and did not change the bill’s substance. Members from Clay and Boone Counties asked about how the bill would apply to political parties versus issue-based fundraising, and the sponsor said recurring gifts to parties could continue because there is no election end date, while recurring solicitations tied to a candidate or specific ballot issue would end when the election concludes.
Supporters argued the bill would protect donors from deceptive practices and align campaign finance rules with broader consent standards used in privacy and finance. After discussion, the House adopted the committee substitute as amended and ordered it perfected and printed. The remainder of the session consisted of announcements, including a Bible study invitation, Wear Red Day, a Future Caucus AI meeting, and a meeting notice for the Special Committee on Rural Issues, before the House adjourned until February 5, 2026.

Summary:
The Standing Committee on Small Business and Information Technology met and first took up House Bill 19, sponsored by Representative Hodgson, which would create basic privacy protections against unauthorized drone surveillance of people and real property and allow injunctive relief in civil actions. A substitute was adopted after Representative Tate moved it and Representative Fister seconded; the sponsor explained the substitute removed overly specific language about utility communication services and simplified who could be subject to civil action. The committee then approved the bill with a favorable expression and recommended it for the House floor.
The committee next considered House Bill 473, sponsored by Representative Branscum, described as a cleanup bill to last session’s House Bill 15, Kentucky’s consumer data privacy law. Branscum said the measure makes minor wording and technical changes, adds language from the medical technology industry to better align Kentucky with other states, and includes cleanup requested by small telephone providers. Representative King moved the bill and Representative Whitten seconded.
After no questions from members, the committee voted on House Bill 473. The bill passed with favorable expression and was recommended for the House floor. The recorded votes showed broad support, with Representative Dossett voting no and Representatives Grossberg and Watkins recorded as pass/present on the roll call.

Summary:
The Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight heard testimony on several procurement-related bills. Senator Lovely and steel industry witnesses supported S. 2167/H. 3411, which would require preference for U.S. manufacturers on public construction projects using steel and other materials. They argued that Canadian and other foreign fabricators underbid Massachusetts firms because of exchange rates, subsidies, and different labor-cost structures, causing local job losses and economic leakage. Committee members asked about tariffs, market share, and whether the bill should be folded into broader municipal legislation; the witnesses said public work should stay in Massachusetts and that the bill would help preserve local industry and jobs.
The committee also heard strong support for S. 2107, a bill to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities in state and municipal contracting. Work Inc. testified that a preference for contractors employing people with disabilities would expand competitive employment, reduce reliance on public assistance, and generate net savings for taxpayers. Members asked about the estimated savings and whether recent federal changes to benefits would affect the numbers; the witness said the figures may need updating but that the underlying employment opportunity remains important. Another bill, H. 3339/S. 2187, would prohibit state and municipal contracts for new artificial turf fields containing zinc, plastic, or intentionally added PFAS. Sponsors and supporters cited health risks, heat retention, injuries, and PFAS contamination, while committee members discussed local bans, disposal problems, and whether indoor facilities or alternative materials could be used.
Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro testified in favor of H. 12 and H. 13, which would update Chapter 30B procurement thresholds and allow municipalities to bundle snow hauling and removal with plowing contracts. He said the changes would give local governments more flexibility, reduce confusion between school and municipal procurement rules, and make snow contracts more attractive to vendors. Members questioned whether quasi-public agencies and state entities should also be subject to 30B, and Shapiro said many public entities have their own procedures but that transparency and fairness should apply across the board. The committee also heard support for S. 2150, a software licensing bill aimed at preventing vendor lock-in by ensuring state agencies can run purchased software in the infrastructure that best fits their needs; the witness said restrictive licensing can drive up costs and create cybersecurity and modernization problems, and that similar laws have already passed in several other states.
