HB 2288: Teachers' Retirement System; postretirement employment; earning limitations; retired member; earnings without reduction in retirement benefits; effective date; emergency.

HB 2288 modifies rules for retired Oklahoma teachers who return to public school employment. It establishes a 60-day cooling-off period after retirement before reemployment and sets annual earnings limits: retired teachers under 62 may earn up to half their final salary (or Social Security's limit, whichever is lower), while those 62+ may earn up to $30,000 or half their final salary. The bill also creates a three-year exception (ending July 2027) allowing certain retired teachers who haven't worked for a public school in the past year to return without earnings limits. It clarifies that part-time work for state government (like the Legislature) doesn't count as public school employment under these rules.

HB 1170: Public finance; Public Finance Protection Act; terms; standard of care; nonpecuniary factors; vote; authority; proxy votes; Attorney General; immunity; indemnification; severability; codification.

HB 1170, the Oklahoma Public Finance Protection Act, requires state pension fund managers to base all investment decisions solely on financial factors affecting returns or risk, prohibiting consideration of environmental, social, political, or ideological goals. It directly affects all Oklahoma public pension plans (including those managed by state entities, counties, municipalities, and schools) and their fiduciaries. The law mandates that fiduciaries evaluate investments exclusively using "pecuniary factors," such as financial risk and return, and prohibits voting proxies or making investment choices to advance nonfinancial objectives, while allowing incidental consideration of factors with proven material financial impact.

HB 1276: Schools; extending prohibition on use of cell phones and personal electronic devices on certain campuses; effective date; emergency.

HB 1276 requires Oklahoma public school districts to adopt policies banning student cell phones and personal electronic devices (like tablets, smartwatches, or laptops) during the entire school day and on school grounds, effective July 2025. Exceptions are permitted for medical emergencies documented by a licensed professional. School boards may opt out of the ban through annual approval, but must still allow device use for emergencies.

SB 843: School district boards of education; modifying exception to certain prohibition on certain relationships between board members and school district employees. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill updates Oklahoma's rules about school board members having family relationships with district employees. It raises the student enrollment threshold for small districts from 400 to 550 average daily students, allowing those districts to adopt policies permitting such relationships. Previously, only districts with fewer than 400 students could do this. The bill also clarifies that board members with family ties to staff must recuse themselves from related personnel decisions. These changes primarily affect small school districts statewide.

SB 1170: Public finance; specifying certain duty of Director of Office of Management and Enterprise Services. Emergency.

SB 1170 amends Oklahoma law to clarify procedures for state payroll and claims processing. It authorizes the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to establish electronic systems and forms for state agencies to submit payroll and claims, allowing agencies to charge multiple fund accounts on a single claim. The bill requires the Director to approve claims after audit and specifies that withholdings (like taxes) can be reserved for lump-sum payments to appropriate entities. This procedural bill affects all state agencies handling employee payrolls and financial claims, with an emergency clause making it effective immediately upon approval.
