Summary

HB 3559 would allow Oklahoma counties to hold a special election—called by commissioners or by a petition signed by at least 5% of registered voters—to approve a severance tax on rock, gravel, granite, sand, limestone and similar materials. The tax is capped at $0.15 per ton, exempts aggregates taken by private individuals for non‑profit use and limestone used for agriculture, and requires that the money be spent only on roads and bridges, not on salaries. The Oklahoma Tax Commission may be hired to collect the tax for a fee of one‑half of one percent of the gross proceeds.
