Bill Summary

An Act relating to state government employees; amending 74 O.S. 2021, Section 840-2.23, as amended by Section 18, Chapter 243, O.S.L. 2022 (74 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 840-2.23), which relates to state employee leave; including stillborn deaths in bereavement time; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing state law regarding leave for state government employees to include stillborn deaths as a qualifying event for bereavement time, meaning state employees will now be eligible for paid leave following the death of a stillborn child, similar to the death of other close relatives. The bill also specifies that a "relative of the employee" for the purpose of leave includes a stillborn child, and it provides an effective date of November 1, 2026, for these changes to take effect.
