The bill amends the Employment Security Act of 1980 to enhance the efficiency of unemployment claims processing in Oklahoma. It introduces new definitions, including "claimant" for individuals filing for benefits and "digital portal filing" for electronic submissions through the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission's platform. The bill also revises appeal filing requirements, allowing the Commission to modify these in response to significant economic conditions or suspected fraud. It establishes electronic e-filing as the preferred method for document submission and clarifies the timely filing process, while also stipulating that improper naming of codefendants in judicial review petitions will lead to case dismissal.

Additionally, the bill streamlines the judicial review process by permitting district courts to remand cases to the Appeal Tribunal for further evidence and requiring the Board of Review to provide a certified case record to the court within sixty days of a petition's service. It updates confidentiality provisions by removing the obligation to disclose information to law enforcement agencies while still permitting information release for fraud investigations and economic research. The bill emphasizes the need for strict confidentiality of any disclosed information and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
