Bill No. 723 amends sections of the Oklahoma statutes related to the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically addressing the classification of certain positions within the department. The bill updates the language to classify these positions as "civil service exempt" rather than "in the unclassified service," aligning with the Civil Service and Human Capital Modernization Act. The positions affected include various healthcare roles such as physician assistants, occupational therapists, and nurse practitioners, as well as administrative roles within veterans centers.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the status of positions previously exempted by executive order remains unchanged, ensuring that those positions are still recognized as exempt from civil service rules. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and streamline the classification of personnel within the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs while removing obsolete language from the current law.
