SB 1433 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Administrative Procedures Act; creating the Guidance Transparency Act; requiring certain agencies to make guidance documents available for public inspection. Effective date.

SB 1433, the "Guidance Transparency Act," requires Oklahoma state agencies to make their "guidance documents" publicly available for inspection. These documents include official agency statements like memos, bulletins, or directives that interpret policies or regulations, but exclude internal communications and legal advice. Agencies must submit these documents electronically with required details and publish them in accessible formats. The bill directly affects all state agencies that issue such guidance, increasing public access to how policies are applied without changing the policies themselves.
