Bill > HB3568

This bill requires advocacy organizations, defined as nonprofit entities involved in public policy advocacy or political messaging, and political parties to disclose any contributions of more than $100 in a calendar year to state or local elected officials, candidates, or their immediate family members, with "immediate family member" including spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, or anyone living in the same household. Similarly, elected officials and candidates who receive anything of monetary value, such as money, gifts, or contracts, exceeding $100 in total from these organizations or parties must file a reciprocal disclosure report. These reports must detail the payor, recipient, family member recipient if applicable, the date and amount of each contribution or gift, its purpose, and whether it was under a written contract. The bill also prohibits intentionally breaking down payments or gifts to avoid these reporting thresholds and grants the Oklahoma Ethics Commission the authority to enforce these provisions, with civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, and allows for criminal prosecution for knowing and willful violations, with the Commission also empowered to create necessary rules for implementation, all effective November 1, 2026.
