State contract employees; directing state agencies report number of contract employees; pay; reports; granting the Office of Management and Enterprise Services certain rulemaking authority; effective date.
HB 1607 requires all Oklahoma state agencies to report the number of contract employees and their individual pay rates to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) using existing payroll software like Workday VNDLY. This reporting obligation applies directly to state agencies managing contract staff and mandates transparency about contract labor costs. The bill grants OMES rulemaking authority to implement these reporting requirements and specifies that the law takes effect on November 1, 2025. It does not change hiring practices or pay levels but establishes a new data collection process for oversight.
