Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Abstractor license needs U.S. work rights
Beginning November 1, 2026, the Oklahoma Abstractors Board denies a license if you lack legal authorization to work in the United States. You must be residing in the U.S. and physically present in the U.S. to get a license. These rules apply to all new licenses and renewals.
Abstractor license fee capped at $150
Each Oklahoma abstractor license lasts one year. The Board sets fees but cannot charge more than $150 for a license or a renewal. This cap starts November 1, 2026.
Clear rules on past convictions for licenses
Starting November 1, 2026, the Board uses two tests when it reviews criminal records. "Poses a reasonable threat" means the act harmed or threatened harm and affects fitness to serve the public or work with others. "Substantially relates" means the crime directly affects the ability to do the job. These definitions guide license decisions for Oklahoma abstractors.
