Bills & Policy Tracker

Methodology

Official Sources Only

Bills are listed here only after verification against the official Oklahoma legislature record at oklegislature.gov - never from headlines or secondhand summaries. Each entry will carry these fields:

• Bill number and chamber
• Short title and what it would actually do (our plain-language summary, labeled as ours)
• Author(s)
• Current status and last action, with date
• Link to the official bill page
• Our position (support / oppose / watch) - labeled as advocacy, separate from the facts
• Last verified date

Current Status

Tracking Begins with the 2027 Session

No ALPR bill passed in the 2026 session. Active tracking begins with the 2027 session. Everything below is verified against oklegislature.gov and oksenate.gov as of 2026-08-22.

• Interim study IS 2026-16, "Flock Cameras" (Sen. Mary Boren, D-Norman; Senate Public Safety Committee) - approved mid-July 2026; must be completed by Oct 30, 2026; hearing date not yet scheduled.
• House interim study request IS 26-011 (Rep. Tom Gann, surveillance technology/ALPRs) - not approved by the Speaker.
• SB 857 (Sen. Darrell Weaver) - would have authorized and regulated law-enforcement ALPR use; first read 2/3/25, referred Senate Public Safety 2/4/25, no further action - died without a hearing (official status).
• HB 1626 (Rep. John George) - companion authorization bill; referred to House Rules 2/4/25, no further action - died (official status).
• Not a real pairing: the circulating claim of Oklahoma "HB 658 / SB 540" ALPR-prohibition bills does not check out on oklegislature.gov - SB 540 (2026) is a dental compact bill. We do not cite it.
