The bill amends sections of the Oklahoma statutes related to the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically addressing the classification of certain positions within the department. It updates the language to reflect that these positions will be classified as "civil service exempt" rather than "in the unclassified service." 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 will remain unchanged, ensuring that these positions are still recognized as exempt from civil service rules. The bill aims to modernize the statutory references and remove obsolete language, with an effective date set for November 1, 2025.
