Homeowner Repair Contract Protection Act Heads to Senate

OKLAHOMA CITY – Legislation aimed at strengthening protections for homeowners approached at their residences for storm-related repair work is now headed to the Senate after the House voted 82-4 to approve the measure. House Bill 3790 , titled the Oklahoma Homeowner Repair Contract Protection Act and authored by Rep. Stacy Adams, R-Duncan, would establish a five-day cancellation period for certain home repair contracts entered into through in-person solicitation at a homeowner’s residence. “I am thankful my colleagues understood the issue Oklahomans face every day,” Adams said. “We are a state that can be hit with storms at any time, and this measure gives homeowners added peace of mind when they are making important decisions about repairs.” The bill is designed to protect homeowners from being locked into contracts after being solicited at their door for repair work. Under the measure, homeowners would have five business days to cancel a qualifying contract, giving them time to fully review the terms before being bound by the agreement. “There is currently no statute that provides this type of cancellation window,” Adams said. “Even without money changing hands, a verbal contract can be enforceable in Oklahoma. This bill brings clarity and fairness to the process. I appreciate Sen. Kristen Thompson for carrying the bill in the Senate.” The Oklahoma Homeowner Repair Contract Protection Act previously passed both the House Civil Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight Committee unanimously. HB3790 is now eligible to be heard in the Senate, where Sen. Kristen Thompson, R-Edmond, is the Senate author.

Adams Files Bill to Shield Homeowners from Post-Storm Pressure Sales

OKLAHOMA CITY - Legislation by Rep. Stacy Adams, R-Duncan, to strengthen protections for homeowners who are approached at their residence for home repair work following storms has passed unanimously in policy committee and now heads to oversight committee. House Bill 3790 , titled the Oklahoma Homeowner Repair Contract Protection Act, would establish a five-day cancellation period for certain home repair contracts entered into through in-person solicitation at a homeowner’s residence. "The intent is to protect Oklahomans from high-pressure tactics that sometimes follow severe storms," Adams said. "When a contractor shows up right after a storm, families are already stressed and trying to assess damage. They should not feel bullied into signing a contract on the spot. This gives them five days to step back, review their options and make the best decision for their home and their finances." Under the measure, homeowners would have until midnight of the fifth calendar day after signing a home solicitation contract to cancel the agreement for any reason. Cancellation would be effective once written notice is delivered or mailed to the contractor at the address listed in the contract. The notice would not require specific language, only a clear written expression of the homeowner’s intent not to be bound by the agreement. The bill applies to contracts that result from door-to-door or in-home sales initiated by a contractor or someone acting on the contractor’s behalf. It does not apply to homeowner-initiated contact, advertising, prior negotiations at a fixed business location or existing contractual relationships. Adams said the measure is designed to prevent rushed decisions during vulnerable moments, not to penalize reputable contractors. She said House Bill 3790 would protect homeowners from fraud and high-pressure sales tactics while providing contractors with clear, consistent guidelines on cancellation rights. "We are grateful for qualified roofers and contractors who work long hours to help communities recover after a storm," she said. "What we cannot accept is seeing families taken advantage of when they are at their lowest." With homeowners' insurance premiums on the rise , Adams noted many families are already carrying higher deductibles to keep coverage affordable. After a storm, the question of how to pay for a new roof can weigh heavily on a household. "Families are asking themselves how they will cover a deductible that may be thousands of dollars," Adams said. "They do not need workers chasing a quick payday and pressuring them into work they may not need." Adams goes on to note that the measure creates a reasonable "cooling-off" period that balances consumer protection with legitimate business operations. The Oklahoma Homeowner Repair Contract Protection Act passed the House Civil Judiciary Committee with a 9-0 vote and now advances to the House Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight Committee.

House Members Praise Competency Reevaluation of Death Row Inmate

A Comanche County judge has ruled that the competency of Ricky Ray Malone, who was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the 2003 execution-style shooting death of Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Nik Green, must be reevaluated to determine if he is eligible for execution. In December, Attorney General Genter Drummond filed a motion requesting the reevaluation, and last week a judge agreed. The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services will reevaluate Malone to determine if he is now able to be executed. An agreement on reevaluation requirements is due March 5. Rep. Trey Caldwell, R-Faxon, praised Drummond's efforts in seeking justice for the Green family.  "This family has waited over two decades for justice to be served, and I am hopeful this evaluation will show Malone is fit to pay the ultimate price for brutally murdering a public servant in the line of duty," said Caldwell, chairman of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee. It has been more than 20 years since Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Nik Green was fatally shot after he stopped to check on a vehicle parked on the side of the road in Cotton County. In 2017, it was determined Malone was not mentally competent for execution and he was moved off death row in McAlester to the Oklahoma Forensic Center in Vinita. He will be reevaluated to determine if he is now competent to be put to death.  Caldwell, along with other Lawton-area Reps. Daniel Pae, Brad Boles, Toni Hasenbeck, Rande Worthen, Stacy Adams and Jonathan Wilk, R-Goldsby, thanked Drummond for his swift action. "I hope the attorney general will continue to use the full weight of his office to make sure justice is carried out in this case," said Caldwell. "This family deserves closure." This case led to the introduction of  House Bill 1693  by Rep. Rande Worthen this legislative session, which puts concrete timelines and requirements on competency reevaluations and adds requirements on competency reevaluation services. The bill will be considered in the House Judiciary – Criminal Committee Tuesday. "Victims and their families deserve to know the timeline and status of a convicted murderer on death row," said Worthen, R-Lawton. "We want to make sure if someone is deemed incompetent to be executed that they are reevaluated on a recurring basis and the state is doing all it can to restore competency when possible so justice can be done." -END-
