Oklahoma HB 1371 is Designed to Reduce PRSA Exposure

Oklahoma HB 1371 is one of the most significant updates to the state's Production Revenue Standards Act (PRSA) in decades. It changes how interest is calculated on certain unpaid proceeds, introduces new non-accrual scenarios, and creates a new Mineral Owner's Fund that offers a path to reduce long-term liability.

But there's a reality many organizations are overlooking: the money you save on statutory interest can quickly become administrative cost if you don't have the people, processes, and systems to manage the new requirements.

In this eBook, recognized escheat expert Nikki Naylor breaks down what changed, and why it matters, including:

  • Why Oklahoma reformed the PRSA and the pressures that drove the change
  • The shift from 12% compounded to 15% simple interest and what it means in practice
  • Which payment delays may no longer accrue interest, and how to document them
  • How the new Mineral Owner's Fund works and when remittance may be required
  • What the 36-month timeline means for your organization
  • The hidden operational burden many teams underestimate
  • How to avoid trading interest savings for administrative cost

Capturing the benefits of HB 1371 means tracking balances, documenting exceptions, and maintaining audit trails, often across disconnected systems and spreadsheets. That's where risk begins. This eBook shows you how to avoid having your hard-won interest savings quietly leak out the back door as administrative cost. Get your copy now.
