The proposed bill establishes a framework for the private certification of professionals in Oklahoma, allowing individuals to engage in lawful occupations without government licensing, provided they are certified by a participating private certifying organization. Key provisions include the requirement for these organizations to register with the Secretary of State, publish information about their certifications, and verify the qualifications of individuals seeking certification. The bill also stipulates that individuals certified by these organizations must display signage indicating their certification status and that the government cannot impose penalties on them for practicing their occupation.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Secretary of State in enforcing the act and the conditions under which a participating organization may lose its registration. It clarifies that while private certification is permitted, it does not limit the government's authority to regulate public health and safety or other non-occupational licenses. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
