House Bill No. 1120, introduced by Lepak, establishes new regulations regarding the implementation of federal election guidance and the acceptance of federal election funds in Oklahoma. The bill mandates that the Secretary of the State Election Board or county election board secretaries cannot implement any new federal directives related to election administration or voter registration without prior legislative approval. If the Legislature is not in session, such directives may be implemented with written consent from the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Additionally, the bill requires these officials to provide written notice to key state leaders regarding any new federal directives or guidance, as well as any litigation involving the State Election Board.

Furthermore, the bill defines "new federal election funds" and stipulates that these funds must be approved by the State Legislature before acceptance or use, with exceptions for certain grants. If the Legislature is not in session, approval can be granted by specified legislative leaders. The Secretary of the State Election Board is also required to publish an annual report detailing the balance and sources of federal funds held by the board. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
