Summary:
The House convened with a quorum, led the Pledge of Allegiance, and heard a prayer from Rabbi Seth Goldstein. After caucus announcements and routine approval of introductions and committee referrals, the chamber moved to second and third reading of several bills. House Bill 1175, concerning small business establishments in residential zones, was amended to give smaller communities more local control and then passed 94-2. House Bill 1376, allowing voluntary prepayment of the state capital gains tax to preserve a federal tax deduction, passed unanimously 97-0.
House Bill 1500, dealing with resale certificates for units in common interest communities, received a technical striking amendment to update the bill to current condo law and then passed 85-12. On third reading, Substitute House Bill 1302, which would let local governments waive utility connection charges for certain industrial symbiosis or green technology projects, passed 76-21 after supporters described it as an environmental and economic development tool and opponents warned it could shift costs and raise utility prices. House Bill 1796, allowing school districts to bond against capital levy collections to accelerate construction projects, passed 78-19 amid debate over whether the change respected voter intent and public trust.
Substitute House Bill 1980 was returned to second reading for a striking amendment, which was adopted, and then passed 97-0. Supporters said it would create a pilot program to help employers, transit agencies, and workers better use transportation infrastructure and HOV/transit lanes in congested areas. The House also re-referred House Joint Memorial 4010 and House Bill 2402 to different committees, then adjourned until the following Friday morning.

Summary:
The Finance and Tax Committee met with a quorum and took up House Bill 1482, which would require certain municipal bond elections to be held on primary or general election days rather than at special elections. Senator Rummel walked the committee through a proposed amendment from Representative Wagner that would remove special-election language, align ballot timing requirements, and make related cleanup changes. Members discussed the distinction between constitutional debt limits and the bill’s election-timing requirements, with Senator Powers seeking clarification that the measure did not change levy or bond limits themselves.
The committee also discussed whether the amended language would comply with the Secretary of State’s requirements. Chairman Weber and Senator Rummel said they had consulted legislative council and wanted a further check before the bill moved forward, and the chairman said he would hold the bill until that review was complete. The amendment was approved unanimously, 6-0, and the bill as amended was then adopted unanimously, 6-0.
After passage, the committee discussed who would carry the bill, eventually settling on Senator Rummel as carrier. The chair also said several other bills, including gas tax and property tax measures, would be held for the time being while the committee waited for developments in the House. The committee announced it would not plan to meet the next day unless called from the floor, and then adjourned.

Summary:
The Alcohol, Tobacco, and Controlled Substances committee met to consider a series of Senate bills, most of them advancing with little or no opposition. SB 1304 expanded retailer tasting limits for beer, wine, and liquor samples; after brief discussion about liquor store support and tasting flexibility, it passed. SB 1501, as amended, allowed any approved third-party vendor to provide continuing education for the medical marijuana industry, and SB 1946 initially received a committee substitute but was later rescinded and returned to its original engrossed form as a distillery bill reducing a local distillery license fee from $3,125 to $1,250. SB 592 clarified distributor obligations when replacing products for quality-control reasons, and SB 65 allowed possession and use of Narcan and fentanyl test strips; both passed.
The committee also heard SB 1257, which moved THC-related substances into Schedule 1 while keeping dronabinol/Marinol in Schedule 3; members discussed federal alignment, singular/plural wording, and synthetic THC coverage, and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics stated it had no objection. An amendment was adopted to make the terminology consistent. SB 444 passed to allow certified hospice personnel to destroy narcotics after a patient’s death. SB 640, with a committee substitute, added abandoned marijuana grow facilities to the definition of public nuisance to help local authorities clean them up, and it passed after confirmation that prior distancing language had been removed.
Later, SB 2178 was amended to remove language that would have placed liability on employees, leaving ABLE-directed insurance requirements for certain events; the amended bill passed. SB 1242, another bond-bill-related measure, was revised to restore the $2,000 fee and add a requirement that OMA notify law enforcement when a license is terminated, and it advanced. Finally, SB 1642 passed to allow seven-day pain-medication prescriptions to be split into shorter fills, with the author arguing it could reduce addiction risk. The committee adjourned after all recorded votes were taken and several bills were reported out favorably.
