This bill amends the composition and organizational structure of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission by increasing its membership from five to eight members. The new composition includes specific appointments by the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, with designated representatives from various business sectors and a public member serving as the chair. Additionally, the bill establishes that each Commissioner serves at the pleasure of their appointing authority and outlines that a quorum consists of any five Commissioners.
Furthermore, the bill repeals two existing sections of the law: Section 4-105, which pertains to the removal of Commissioners by the Governor, and Section 4-107, which relates to quorum requirements. The changes aim to enhance the representation and functionality of the Commission, with the new provisions set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
