Counties and county officers; Counties and County Officers Act of 2025; effective date.
HB 1928 amends Oklahoma's Professional Entity Act to update definitions related to professional services. It specifically adds "human resource professional" (defined as managing employee life cycles in HR departments) to the list of professions covered under the act, alongside existing professions like doctors, lawyers, and nurses. This change directly affects HR professionals and the business entities they form, clarifying their eligibility under the act. The bill modifies Section 803 of the Professional Entity Act but does not create new requirements or restrictions. The bill is currently in early stages (first reading, referred to Rules) with no committee action yet.
