State government; Oklahoma Employee Insurance and Benefits Act; statutory references; effective date.
HB 2108 replaces the State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board and the Oklahoma State Employees Benefits Council with a new Oklahoma Employees Insurance and Benefits Board. The new board will have seven members: the State Insurance Commissioner (ex-officio), four appointed by the Governor, one by the House Speaker, and one by the Senate President Pro Tempore, all requiring specific professional experience in insurance, law, or accounting. It will manage state employee health insurance benefits, including selecting providers, handling TRICARE supplements for eligible employees, and administering the flexible benefits plan. The bill also updates administrative procedures for the Office of Management and Enterprise Services regarding benefit eligibility and provider contracts.
