HB 1621, the State Department of Education Spending Transparency Act, requires Oklahoma’s State Treasurer to create a public online portal displaying detailed annual spending data from the Oklahoma State Department of Education (the "Submitting Party"). The portal must include searchable records of all expenditures - showing amounts, dates, payees, employee roles for payroll, and U.S. Census-based spending categories - and allow data downloads and summaries. It mandates annual agreements between the State Treasurer and the education department to maintain the portal, which must be prominently linked on both the Treasurer’s and education department’s websites, effective November 1, 2025.
