Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Pension boards must post yearly votes

Beginning November 1, 2026, each pension board must publish a yearly report of every shareholder vote. The report lists the vote caption, how the board or its fiduciary voted, and management’s recommendation. It also lists any recommendation from a proxy advisor or other service provider. Boards must post the report on their website by March 1 after the year.

Default defined‑contribution funds use financial rules

Beginning November 1, 2026, defined contribution plans under the Retirement Freedom Act are excluded from this law. But any default investment option in those plans must be chosen using the law’s pecuniary (financial) and fiduciary standards.

Pension boards vote on finances only

Beginning November 1, 2026, Oklahoma public pension boards must vote on shareholder matters using only financial (pecuniary) factors. The sole aim is to maximize risk‑adjusted returns over the proper time horizon. Pecuniary factors are those a prudent investor expects to change financial risk or return. Environmental, social, or political goals do not count. Boards may engage companies only on financial issues to maximize shareholder value. They may state opposition to proposals with no financial impact. Boards keep proxy voting authority when it is economically practicable. Boards may hire proxy advisors only if the advisor follows these rules and agrees in writing.
