HB 1928 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Counties and county officers; Counties and County Officers Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 1928 amends Oklahoma's Professional Entity Act by updating the definition of "professional service" to explicitly include human resource professionals. This change affects organizations employing HR professionals who operate under the act's framework, such as those structured as corporations, limited partnerships, or limited liability companies. The bill adds "human resource professional" to the existing list of covered professions (like doctors, lawyers, and therapists) within the act's definitions, clarifying that HR services qualify as "professional service" under the law. It does not create new regulations but refines how existing rules apply to HR professionals.
