Bill Summary
An Act relating to the Department of Rehabilitation Services; amending 74 O.S. 2021, Section 166.2, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 356, O.S.L. 2025 (74 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 166.2), which relates to the Commission for Rehabilitation Services; modifying conditions for removal of member; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the conditions under which a member of the Commission for Rehabilitation Services, a governing board for the State Department of Rehabilitation Services, can be removed from their position. Previously, a member could only be removed for specific reasons like misconduct, incompetency, or neglect of duty, and only after receiving written charges and an opportunity for a hearing. This bill changes that by stating that each member serves at the pleasure of their original appointing authority and can now be removed or replaced without needing to provide a cause, meaning the appointing authority has broader discretion in removing members. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
