Resolution No. 1023, introduced by Turner, addresses the approval of a proposed Fee Schedule for maximum reimbursement rates to medical providers under Oklahoma's workers' compensation system. The resolution outlines the requirements set forth in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 50 of Title 85A, which mandates that the Workers' Compensation Commission evaluate and update the Fee Schedule, submit it to key legislative leaders and the Governor, and obtain legislative approval for it to take effect.
The resolution formally approves the updated Fee Schedule as submitted, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. It also states that the resolution will take effect on July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency to expedite its implementation for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety. Copies of the resolution will be distributed to relevant parties, including the Workers' Compensation Commission and the Governor.
