Oklahoma rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• The Oklahoma data privacy act (SB 546, 2026) – no short title in the act rarely reaches a local business: Applies only to a controller or processor that conducts business in Oklahoma or produces a product or service targeted to Oklahoma residents and that, during a calendar year, either controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or controls or processes the personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and derives over 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data. A typical small business is well below both thresholds and outside the act. NOT YET IN FORCE: effective January 1, 2027. Title 75A, Oklahoma Statutes, §§ 300 to 318 (SB 546, 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature; approved by the Governor 03/20/2026)
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
