Bill > SB1175

This bill modifies section 34.67 of Oklahoma Statutes related to claims and payroll processing by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES), changing the language from the Director being "authorized to" prescribe forms and electronic systems to the Director "shall" prescribe these forms and systems. The bill maintains the existing provisions that allow state agencies to file claims against multiple current allotment items within funds by indicating specific accounts to be charged, and requires the Director to approve and charge claims after a proper audit. The bill also preserves existing requirements for payroll systems, which must show total earnings, withholding amounts, and net employee payments, and allows the Director to make lump sum withholding payments to appropriate entities. Notably, the bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, suggesting the changes are considered urgent for maintaining effective state financial operations.
