House Bill No. 1607 mandates that all state agencies in Oklahoma report the number of contract employees they have to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services by July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter. The reports must include details on the pay and contract conditions of each contract employee and are to be submitted using existing payroll software. Additionally, the bill grants the Office of Management and Enterprise Services the authority to create rules necessary for implementing these reporting requirements.
The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance transparency regarding the employment conditions of contract workers within state agencies. This legislative measure is part of a broader effort to ensure accountability and oversight in the management of state contract employees.
