Local Food Freedom Act Signed Into Law

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Rob Hall, R-Tulsa, and Sen. Kelly Hines, R-Oklahoma City, today commented on the signing of House Bill 3720 , a measure updating Oklahoma’s Homemade Food Freedom Act and expanding opportunities for small, local food producers. House Bill 3720 renames the law as the Local Food Freedom Act and updates several provisions to reflect the growth of Oklahoma’s local food industry. The measure increases the allowable annual sales cap for local food businesses from $75,000 to $250,000 and clarifies how products can be sold and delivered to consumers. "This will make it easier for small producers to grow without getting buried in red tape," Hall said. "Oklahomans have turned these local businesses into real opportunities for their families, and this law reflects that. It keeps commonsense protections in place while giving people more room to succeed." The bill also updates definitions in statute, expands where local food products can be produced, and maintains food safety requirements for products that require time or temperature control. Sen. Kelly Hines, R-Oklahoma City, is the Senate author of the measure. "This legislation gives homegrown businesses more runway to get off the ground. Right now, some of the limits in state law unintentionally hold these home-based entrepreneurs back by disincentivizing them from growing their small businesses. Under the Local Food Freedom Act, these businesses will have every opportunity to grow and flourish" The Local Food Freedom Act preserves existing labeling requirements, including clear disclosure that products are made in a facility not subject to state inspection, while continuing to exclude the sale of certain higher-risk items such as meat and poultry products. The measure takes effect Nov. 1, 2026.

Guidance Transparency Act Signed Into Law

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Rob Hall, R-Tulsa, and Sen. Micheal Bergstrom, R-Adair, commented on the signing of Senate Bill 1433 , known as the Guidance Transparency Act, a measure to increase transparency and accountability in state government.  SB1433 requires state agencies to make guidance documents publicly available, both online and at their principal place of business, ensuring Oklahomans have clear access to agency policies and interpretations. The measure also requires agencies to submit guidance documents to the Office of Administrative Rules for publication in a searchable, centralized format.  "With this legislation, Oklahoma becomes the first state in the nation to enshrine guidance document transparency into law," Hall said. "By requiring these documents to be accessible, we’re creating more transparency and helping the public better understand how decisions are made and which government agency documents are legally binding."  The legislation defines guidance documents broadly to include agency statements, memoranda, bulletins and similar materials that communicate official policy or interpretation, while clarifying that such documents do not carry the full force of law unless otherwise authorized.  "With the Guidance Transparency Act now law, we’re correcting internal processes that allowed agencies to act without enough transparency. Guidance documents will now be disclosed to the public and easy to access, resulting in clearer rules and greater accountability," said Sen. Micheal Bergstrom, R-Adair.  SB1433 ensures agencies regularly update and publish guidance documents, including any amendments or rescissions, helping maintain accurate and up-to-date information for the public.  The measure takes effect Nov. 1, 2026.

Charter School Facility Funding Measure Signed Into Law

OKLAHOMA CITY – Legislation aimed at expanding access to funding for charter school facilities has been signed into law by the governor. House Bill 3372 , authored by Rep. Rob Hall, R-Tulsa, creates new financial tools to help charter schools secure funding for buildings and infrastructure needs. "This gives charter schools a real shot at building and improving their facilities without being at a disadvantage," Hall said. "If we expect these schools to deliver for students, they need the same kind of opportunities to invest in their classrooms and campuses. We're making sure they can plan, grow and serve families well into the future." The measure establishes a revolving loan fund program to provide lower-interest financing options for charter school capital projects, including construction, renovation and property acquisition. It also creates a bond credit enhancement program to help qualifying charter schools access more favorable financing terms. "This law is about creating a more level playing field so charter schools have access to the same type of facility financing options as traditional public schools," Sen. Adam Pugh, chairman of the Senate Education committee, R-Edmond, said. "By establishing responsible, sustainable funding tools, we’re helping these schools invest in safe, high-quality learning environments while maintaining strong oversight. Ultimately, this is about supporting students and giving families more quality education options across Oklahoma. I appreciate Representative Hall for his help on this measure." Under the law, the programs will be administered with oversight from the Statewide Charter School Board and support from a third-party financial administrator to ensure responsible lending practices and long-term sustainability. The bill also clarifies that charter schools remain responsible for their own financial obligations while establishing safeguards to protect state resources. Sen. Adam Pugh, R-Edmond, is the Senate author of the bill. HB3372 will take effect Nov. 1, 2026.
