Workers compensation; Oklahoma Workers Compensation Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 2708 establishes the official name "Oklahoma Workers Compensation Act of 2025" for the state's workers' compensation system and sets its effective date as November 1, 2025. This bill does not change existing benefits, coverage rules, or administrative procedures; it solely provides a new title and implementation timeline for the current system. The legislation directly affects all Oklahoma employers and employees covered under workers' compensation laws, as it formalizes the system's designation. The bill was introduced by Representative Hilbert and referred to the Rules Committee in early 2025.
