Bill > HB1032

This bill prohibits counties, municipalities, cities, and towns in Oklahoma from regulating single-family residential building design elements, with some exceptions. The exceptions include historic districts, properties governed by valid contractual agreements, properties with existing design regulations adopted before January 1, 2019, properties within tax increment finance districts or business improvement districts, and properties within overlay zoning districts that follow specific notice and approval requirements. The bill provides definitions for "residential building design elements" and specifies that the prohibition does not apply to regulations related to life safety, building codes, manufactured housing, or the National Flood Insurance Program. The bill also does not prohibit private parties from enacting regulations through covenants or other contractual agreements.
