This bill establishes new protections for retirees in Oklahoma by making it unlawful for employers to terminate, deny, reduce, or alter post-employment benefits if the retiree's retirement was related to a disability. Specifically, the bill outlines that such changes in benefits must be causally linked to the retiree's disability or the circumstances surrounding their retirement. The provisions apply to employers covered by the Oklahoma Anti-Discrimination Act, ensuring that these protections are enforced within the existing legal framework.

Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for individuals to file claims through the Office of Civil Rights Enforcement or through civil court actions. Remedies for violations may include reinstatement of benefits, damages, and civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, marking a significant step in enhancing employment rights for individuals with disabilities in Oklahoma.
