This bill amends Section 34.36 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the annual estimates of funds required by state agencies. It mandates that state agencies report not only their budgetary needs but also provide detailed information about contractors, including contract amounts and statuses. Specifically, agencies must report on whether contracts are for services or staffing augmentation, and if any contracts are incomplete or pending, they must include estimated completion times. Additionally, agencies are required to publicly post final consultant reports linked to the original contracts on the state's purchasing website.

The bill also removes a previous requirement regarding the certification of expenditures related to technology purchases prior to July 1, 2011, and introduces a new requirement for agencies to report actions taken in response to consultant recommendations. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance transparency and accountability in state agency budgeting and contracting processes.
