Oklahoma legislators voted to override the governor’s veto of House Bill 2167 — an OPA-sponsored legal notice bill — in the final hours of the 2025 legislative session. The legislation increased the state-set legal notice rates for the first time since 2005 and included other reforms for readability and accessibility of legal notices.

HB 2167 passed the House on March 25 by an 83-6 vote. On April 28, the bill passed the Senate 36-6. On May 5, the governor vetoed the legislation, writing a confusing and surprising veto message, even though the bill reached his desk with veto-proof vote majorities in both the House and Senate.
