Secretary of State; requiring submission of certain agency actions for review; requiring board to abide by certain recommendations. Effective date.

SB 835 requires Oklahoma state licensing boards (called "qualifying boards") with majority market participants to submit proposed actions likely to harm competition - such as license suspensions, revocations, or decisions based on competitor complaints - to the Secretary of State for review. The Secretary must confirm if the action enforces a clear state policy within 60 days, and the board must follow their recommendation or face member removal for misconduct. Actions without anticompetitive effects - like consented decisions, criminal convictions, mandatory statute implementations, or fines - do not require review. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
