Bill > HB3150

This bill requires the Attorney General of Oklahoma to publish a report every four years, starting November 1, 2026, detailing the total costs incurred by the state in defending or representing itself against any law or amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that has been declared unconstitutional by a court, with no further appeals possible. The report should include estimated values for services by in-house attorneys and litigation support staff, and all actual costs for outside counsel and support. It will also specify if the Attorney General or other state attorneys advised the Legislature on the risk of unconstitutionality, provide a plain language summary of the court's decision, and state whether the opposing party received attorney fees and, if possible, the amount. This bill also sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
