Summary: The Ways and Means Committee held public hearings on several tax and retirement-related bills. Senate Bill 6073 would move eligible Department of Natural Resources wildland and aviation firefighters from PERS into LEOFF 2 prospectively. Committee staff outlined the higher retirement age and benefit costs under LEOFF 2 and noted a small implementation cost and a modest actuarial rate increase. DNR and labor representatives supported the bill, saying the firefighters face significant physical and mental risks and deserve LEOFF coverage; a senator asked about LEOFF board review and was told the bill was requested by DNR, not the board. Senate Bill 6113 was presented as a set of technical and administrative tax-code fixes tied largely to last session’s ESSB 5814, including clarifying taxable retail services, use tax treatment, a transition period for businesses reclassified into retailing B&O, and other corrections. DOR said the bill codifies guidance and is revenue neutral, while several speakers from schools, arts groups, newspapers, broadcasters, and business organizations said some provisions go beyond technical cleanup and would continue or expand unintended consequences from last year’s tax changes. Concerns focused on sales tax treatment of school services, live presentations and rehearsals, and a new section affecting newspaper and broadcaster advertising exemptions if litigation is lost. Some business groups were supportive of the technical fixes but asked for amendments. Senate Bill 6116 would restore the vapor products tax structure for nicotine-containing vapor products, moving them back to the per-milliliter tax and restoring revenue distributions to the Andy Hill Cancer Research account and the Foundational Public Health Services account, retroactive to January 1, 2026. Supporters from public health and the cancer fund said the bill would correct an unintended diversion of revenue and preserve funding, while tobacco-control groups opposed lowering the tax on vapor products, arguing it would weaken public health policy. Retailers and harm-reduction advocates supported the bill, saying the 95% tax created compliance problems, harmed small businesses, and encouraged illicit sales. Senate Bill 6129 proposed a broader overhaul of nicotine and tobacco taxes, including a single 90% tax on nicotine products, a 10% flavor tax, higher cigarette taxes, and new distributions to cancer research and public health accounts. Public health, pediatric, and anti-tobacco groups strongly supported the bill as a way to reduce youth use and raise revenue, while retailers, tobacco businesses, and some consumers opposed it as regressive, harmful to small businesses, and likely to drive sales to illicit or out-of-state markets. Several speakers also raised concerns about tribal consultation, the treatment of menthol and flavored products, and the impact on modified-risk products. The committee also heard briefings and began testimony on Senate Bill 6162, a property tax reform bill that would expand senior and disability property tax relief, increase income thresholds and deductions, and consolidate the state property tax rate.

Summary: House Finance held hearings on several tax-related bills. HB 2038 would impose a 0.4% additional B&O tax on businesses operating social media platforms starting in 2027 and direct the revenue to a new youth behavioral health account. The sponsor and supportive youth witnesses said social media contributes to youth anxiety and problematic internet use and that the bill would fund prevention and behavioral health services. Opponents from business and tech groups argued the tax unfairly targets one sector, could violate federal internet tax law, and should be funded through the general fund instead. HB 2297 would create local tax incentives to help grocery stores in underserved communities, including preferential city B&O rates, a sales tax exemption for security services, a property tax exemption program, a B&O credit, and a B&O exemption for certain locally owned or employee-owned stores. Supporters, including food access advocates, local officials, grocers, and residents of food-desert neighborhoods, said the bill would help preserve and attract grocery stores in communities that have lost access to healthy food. Counties supported the concept but raised concern about the bill’s sales tax exemption, saying local revenue losses should be minimized. HB 2382 would raise cigarette taxes by $2 per pack, restructure vapor and other tobacco taxes, and dedicate portions of the revenue to emergency medical services, tobacco enforcement, and public health accounts. Supporters said higher tobacco taxes reduce smoking, generate revenue, and help fund cancer research and public health programs. Retailers and industry groups opposed the bill, warning it would hurt small stores, push sales to illicit or out-of-state markets, and burden lower-income consumers. HB 2487 would narrow the B&O tax exemption for insurers after a 2024 Supreme Court decision, with retroactive application to 2019; DOR and patient advocates supported it as a clarification to prevent an overly broad exemption, while insurers and business groups opposed the retroactivity and warned of higher premiums and ambiguity affecting related insurance activities. HB 2018 would raise the solid waste tax by 0.5% annually for five years and create a local government solid waste assistance account; counties and solid waste officials supported it as a way to stabilize funding for waste management as landfill revenue declines, and the hearing included public testimony in favor. No committee votes were taken in the transcript.

Summary: House Finance heard briefings and testimony on several bills. HB 2559 would let cities and counties impose an additional 4% excise tax on lodging and short-term rentals starting in 2027, with revenues dedicated to affordable housing programs; staff explained the existing lodging-tax structure and caps, and the prime sponsor said the bill is a local option aimed at addressing housing loss from short-term rentals. HB 2133 would make permanent the property tax exemption for multipurpose nonprofit senior citizen centers; staff described the current exemption and fiscal note, and the sponsor and one supporter said it helps keep senior centers open, while a question was raised about whether other nonprofit community centers could qualify. HB 2135 would increase and extend the disabled veterans adaptive housing sales-tax remittance, raising the lifetime cap from $2,500 to $5,000, increasing the statewide cap, extending the expiration to 2038, and adding JLARC review; the sponsor and a veterans coalition testified in support, saying it helps federal grant dollars go further for accessible housing. The committee then heard HB 2442, an eight-part local government revenue and flexibility bill. Staff said it would expand or authorize several local tax tools and uses, including broader use of real estate excise tax revenues, a new voter-approved affordable-housing REET option for cities, a county public utility tax, a new local sales tax for children and family services, broader uses for housing and related services taxes, changes to county mental health and veterans levies, longer levy lid-lift periods, and expanded uses for rental car tax revenue. The sponsor argued the bill gives local governments needed flexibility without creating a new statewide tax, while supporters from counties, cities, housing groups, and some service providers said local governments need more tools to address housing, behavioral health, children’s services, and infrastructure. Opponents from utilities, realtors, water and sewer districts, wireless carriers, auto dealers, and tax groups argued the new or expanded taxes would be regressive, raise housing and utility costs, or lack a sufficient nexus to the stated uses. No votes were taken in the portion provided. After that, the committee returned to HB 2559 for public testimony. Supporters, including county and city representatives and housing advocates, said short-term rentals reduce long-term housing supply and that the bill would give local communities a targeted tool to fund affordable housing. Opponents, including short-term rental owners and managers, said the bill would hurt small operators, reduce supplemental retirement income, and could be better addressed through broader lodging taxes rather than singling out short-term rentals. The hearing also included questions about the bill’s tax structure and how revenues would be used, but no action was taken in the excerpt.

Summary: House Finance heard briefings on several tax and housing-related bills, including HB 1717 on a local sales and use tax remittance program for affordable housing, HB 1859 on expanding affordable housing opportunities on religious organization property, HB 1960 on a renewable energy excise tax, HB 2133 on making a senior center property tax exemption permanent, HB 2135 on extending a disabled veterans housing tax preference, HB 2140 on tax treatment for land transferred to government entities, HB 2442 on a broad package of local tax and levy authorities, and HB 2559 on a local option excise tax on short-term rentals for affordable housing. Staff also described proposed substitutes and amendments for each measure, including changes to administration, eligibility, effective dates, tax credits, voter-approval requirements, and JLARC review provisions. During executive action, the committee adopted amendments to HB 1960 clarifying tax administration and JLARC independence, while rejecting an Orcutt amendment that would have adjusted property tax levies for renewable energy projects. The committee also adopted a technical correction to HB 2133 and an effective-date amendment to HB 2135. Amendments to HB 2442 and HB 2559 that would have required voter approval or provided state tax credits were rejected. Members debated the policy impacts of local taxing authority, housing affordability, and tax burdens on property owners, veterans, seniors, and short-term rental operators. The committee voted to report HB 1717, HB 1859, HB 1960, HB 2133, HB 2135, HB 2140, HB 2442, and HB 2559 out of committee with do pass recommendations. HB 1960 passed on a recorded vote of 11 ayes and 4 nays; HB 2442 and HB 2559 each passed 9-6; the other measures were approved by voice vote, generally 15-0. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee took up a mix of tax policy, incentive, and administrative measures, beginning with an annual motion authorizing the chair to request OSBI background checks for any Horse Racing Commission nominees. The committee then passed Senate Bill 1839, as amended, to create a de minimis ad valorem tax exception for personal property valued at $5,000 or less per account. The committee also confirmed Daniel LaFortune to the Oklahoma Tax Commission by a 12-0 vote, with LaFortune emphasizing his IRS background and commitment to customer service and fairness. Several other bills were approved, including Senate Bill 1280 to align the plugging fund sunset date in the tax code with another statute; Senate Bill 1832 to reauthorize income tax refund checkoffs for veterans programs; Senate Bill 2001 to freeze property taxes for three years for homeowners displaced by a turnpike or eminent domain, though members raised concerns about downsizing and future valuation; and Senate Bill 1405 to renew the wildlife diversity checkoff, with testimony clarifying it would fund non-game species rather than predator reintroduction. Senate Bill 1989 also passed, expanding the Oklahoma College Savings Plan to accept digital payment platforms such as Venmo and PayPal, with members discussing how deposits would be tracked. The committee then considered Senate Bill 2143, which would allow counties to use aerial or satellite imagery and fixed-wing aircraft for property assessment while excluding drones; supporters cited efficiency, safety, and accuracy, while opponents raised privacy, foreign-company, and taxpayer-frustration concerns. The bill passed 7-4. Senate Bill 1393, a housing redevelopment tax credit for vacant and abandoned properties, passed 8-3 after discussion about affordable housing requirements and project ranking. The committee also approved three Incentive Evaluation Commission recommendations: Senate Bill 1392 to increase the aerospace engineer employee tax credit, Senate Bill 1395 to limit carryforward of the new jobs tax credit to seven years, and Senate Bill 1400 to consolidate aircraft-related sales tax exemptions. The meeting adjourned after the chairman noted more bills would be heard at a later meeting.

Summary: The committee first heard House Bill 2140, which would exempt land sold or transferred to a governmental entity from the additional tax owed when land is removed from an open space current-use classification in certain circumstances. Staff explained the bill’s current-use tax rules and noted the fiscal impact is expected to be minimal but indeterminate. Representative Lowe said the bill is meant to fix a narrow problem where a county takes a small frontage strip for public purposes and the owner is still charged back taxes; FutureWise testified in support of the intent but asked for language tweaks to ensure the transferred land does not later become incompatible with agricultural or open-space use. The hearing on HB 2140 was then closed. The committee then heard House Bill 2326, which would allow a fire protection district to impose an EMS levy on the portion of its district not already covered by another taxing district’s EMS levy, with voters in the affected area approving it. Fire district and fire chief representatives testified in support, describing situations where a small overlap prevents most residents in a district from voting on or funding EMS service. Opponents argued the bill would add to property tax burdens. Testimony concluded and the hearing was closed. Next, House Bill 2334 was heard, responding to the federal decision to stop minting new pennies by setting rules for rounding cash transactions to the nearest five cents. Staff said rounding would apply only to cash payments and would occur after taxes and fees are included; the fiscal note was described as indeterminate but minimal at the state level, with some implementation costs. Retail and grocery groups generally supported the bill but requested clarifying amendments and protections related to tax obligations, consumer lawsuits, SNAP equal-treatment rules, and local ordinances; other testimony supported the measure as a practical response to the penny’s disappearance. The hearing was then closed. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 2100, a proposed payroll expense tax on large operating companies to fund the new Well Washington Fund for higher education, health care, cash assistance, energy, and housing, with an oversight board and a credit for eligible city payroll taxes. Staff described a substitute narrowing the bill to employers with 250 or more employees and at least $7 million in payroll, with several public-sector and health-related exemptions; the fiscal note projected substantial revenue. Supporters, including labor, poverty, housing, health, and faith advocates, said the bill would help offset federal cuts and protect vulnerable residents. Business, retail, hospitality, construction, and chamber representatives opposed it, warning about job losses, higher costs, and harm to competitiveness. The prime sponsor said the bill is intended as a near-term response to federal funding cuts, and testimony continued with many additional witnesses before the transcript ended.
