OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Marilyn Stark, R-Bethany, has successfully advanced three key bills on the House floor during the 60th Legislature, addressing real estate protections, service animal regulations and Medicaid reimbursement for cognitive care.

"Each of these bills is designed to address real concerns that impact Oklahomans in their daily lives," Stark said. "From protecting homeowners and title companies from unfair agreements to ensuring that service animal regulations are upheld with integrity and improving access to healthcare services, these measures are about strengthening our communities." 

House Bill 1177 strengthens property rights by prohibiting unfair service agreements from being used as actual or constructive notice against real estate owners or title companies. The bill passed unanimously, 92-0. 

House Bill 1178 makes it a misdemeanor for individuals to falsely present an animal as a service animal to gain privileges intended for individuals with disabilities. The measure passed with a vote of 52-28.

House Bill 2268 ensures Medicaid reimbursement for cognitive assessment and care planning services, improving access to necessary healthcare support. The bill was approved with a 78-4 vote. 

"I am committed to protecting Oklahomans across the board, whether in their homes, in public spaces or in critical healthcare situations," Stark said. "I appreciate my colleagues' support in advancing these important initiatives and hope to see these bills supported in the Senate as well."

Each bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
