Bill No. 1174, introduced by Senators Hall and Haste and Representatives Caldwell and Kane, addresses judicial compensation in Oklahoma. The bill specifically rejects the judicial salaries established by the Board on Judicial Compensation, as outlined in their Final Report issued on September 16, 2025. This rejection is made under the authority granted to the Oklahoma Legislature in Section 3.2 of Title 20 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

Additionally, the bill includes a declaration of emergency, stating that it is immediately necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety, which allows the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The bill was passed by the Senate on April 14, 2026.
