House Bill No. 1769, introduced by Representative Kerbs, amends Section 26-105 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the purchase of benefits by school district employees. The bill modifies the enrollment period for benefits, establishing that the enrollment will begin on November 1 and run until December 15 each year, replacing the previous requirement for the enrollment period to be determined annually and to end no later than thirty days before the beginning of the plan year. Additionally, it clarifies that school district employees hired after the closing of the enrollment period will still be allowed to make an election regarding their benefits.

The bill also maintains the structure of the flexible benefit allowance for school district employees, ensuring that certified personnel receive a minimum of $69.71 per month and support personnel receive $189.69 per month, with provisions for future adjustments based on the HealthChoice (Hi) option plan premiums. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
