This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes that renders nondisclosure agreements between state employees and their employing state agencies or entities void and unenforceable upon the resignation or termination of the employee. The bill specifies that these provisions do not apply to state employees who are bound by a mandated professional privilege of confidentiality, ensuring that certain confidential relationships are preserved.

The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026. This change aims to enhance transparency and accountability within state government by eliminating the enforceability of nondisclosure agreements that could potentially silence employees after their departure from state employment.
