OKLAHOMA CITY – House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, recently announced that the process for assigning interim studies to their respective committees has been finalized.
Interim studies serve as a valuable tool for lawmakers to take a deeper look at topics that may require further review or data gathering before formal legislation is considered. Once assigned to a committee, meetings will be scheduled at the discretion of the committee chair.
Hilbert said while interim study requests may be the priorities of individual members, a study may not necessarily indicate or reflect a formal priority of the House Republican Caucus.
“These studies allow legislators to explore a wide range of issues,” Hilbert said. “Interim studies serve as an important tool in the toolbox of an individual or a group of legislators in preparing their policy initiatives for the 2026 session and initiating public buy-in. The interim study process provides an avenue for members to gather information, vet ideas and engage stakeholders.”
The interim study period began Aug. 4 and will conclude Nov. 6, 2025. For more information and a full list of approved studies, please visit the Oklahoma House of Representatives website at okhouse.gov.
