House Bill No. 1607 mandates that all state agencies in Oklahoma report the number of contract employees they have, along with details regarding their pay and contract conditions. These reports are required to be submitted to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services by July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter. The reporting process will utilize existing payroll software to streamline the collection of this information. Additionally, the Office of Management and Enterprise Services is granted the authority to create rules necessary for implementing these reporting requirements.
The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives on May 21, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and oversight regarding the employment of contract workers within state agencies.
