Legislation

Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.

Choosing a jurisdiction overrides the level. Stage is where the bill stands in its own jurisdiction's process. Direction is whether it expands or restricts benefits, recorded only where the reason can be read from the bill. Outcome is whether the instrument became law; catalog status is whether this catalog has been reconciled against it. None of this is legal advice, and a tracked item is a pointer to the official record rather than a substitute for reading it.

1 instrument in Oklahoma. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.

A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.

Expands benefits Lets the 100 percent disabled veteran homestead exemption follow the veteran or surviving spouse to a new home.

Added subsection C to Okla. Const. art. X, § 8E: a new homestead acquired by the qualifying veteran or surviving spouse after the old one is transferred is exempt to the same extent for that year and after. Adopted by the voters on November 4, 2014, together with State Question 771, which created the line of duty surviving spouse exemption in § 8F. Flagged because the Tax Commission's Form 998, revised November 2025, still prints § 8E as adopted in 2004, without subsection C; Form 998-B prints the amended text.
