State government; creating the State Employee Compensation Board. Effective date.

SB 1233 creates the State Employee Compensation Board to review and recommend salary and benefit adjustments for Oklahoma state employees. The board, appointed by the Governor and legislative leaders (including minority leaders), will meet every two years to propose changes via majority vote. Its recommendations must be submitted electronically to key state officials, who will then consider them. This bill establishes a formal process for reviewing state employee compensation but does not set specific pay rates or funding. It takes effect on November 1, 2026.
