Rehabilitation services; expanding membership of the Commission for Rehabilitation Services. Emergency.
SB 770 expands Oklahoma's Commission for Rehabilitation Services from three to seven members. It adds four new positions: one appointed by the Senate President Pro Tempore (2025-2027 term), two appointed by the Governor (2025-2026 terms), and one appointed by the House Speaker (2025-2028 term). The bill updates appointment rules, term lengths, and removes outdated language in the existing statute. This change directly affects the Commission's governance structure for administering state rehabilitation services. The bill became law after a veto override (76-5) on May 29, 2025.
