SB 1425 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Health care; repealing provisions related to the Health Care Workforce Resources Board. Effective date.

SB 1425 repeals three existing Oklahoma statutes related to health care workforce programs: 70 O.S. 2021 §2640 (Oklahoma Health Care Workers and Educators Assistance Program) and 74 O.S. 2021 §§3200.1-3200.2 (Health Care Workforce Resources Act). This bill eliminates the legal framework for these specific programs, which previously provided assistance to health care workers and educators. The repeal takes effect on November 1, 2026, and directly affects the administrative structure and operations of those programs. No new provisions or funding are created; the bill solely removes the existing laws.

The bill text was converted from the House version to the Senate floor version, primarily changing the header information and committee reports. The core policy content, including the repeal of specific Oklahoma statutes regarding health care assistance programs and the effective date of November 1, 2026, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version, including a new date (February 17, 2026) and a change in the committee report attribution from the House to the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Workforce and Tourism.

The footer text was updated to indicate the document is the 'SENATE FLOOR VERSION' instead of the 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' version.
