SB 1415 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

State government; providing for certain nondisclosure agreements to be void and unenforceable. Effective date.

SB 1415 makes most nondisclosure agreements between Oklahoma state employees and their agencies void and unenforceable upon the employee's resignation or termination. This applies directly to state workers leaving their jobs, preventing agencies from legally enforcing confidentiality terms after employment ends. The bill excludes agreements required by law for certain professions (like medical or legal confidentiality). It becomes effective November 1, 2026, and would be codified in Oklahoma Statutes.
