The bill amends the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Oklahoma Workforce Commission, specifically updating Section 5 of Chapter 361 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Key changes include the Commission's authority to collect additional data related to workforce development, such as funds allocated and expenditures made for workforce development, as well as performance data. The bill also allows the Commission to employ outside counsel to advise or represent it in its official duties, with compensation sourced from the Commission's funds.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the Commission's role as a centralized data repository for workforce development activities in Oklahoma and mandates cooperation from various public entities in providing necessary information. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
