Speaker Hilbert Announces Approval and Assignment of Interim Studies

OKLAHOMA CITY – House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, today 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.

Speaker Hilbert stated that 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,” said Speaker Hilbert. “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 will begin on August 4, 2025, and conclude on November 6, 2025. For more information and a full list of approved studies, please visit the Oklahoma House of Representatives website.
