State government; prohibiting state agencies from charging for certain cost. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1454 prohibits Oklahoma state agencies from charging other state agencies for the "cost of labor" (meaning payment for employee time, expertise, and skill) when one agency provides services to another. This applies to all state agencies except the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector, which remains subject to normal fee structures. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and is designated as an emergency measure to take effect immediately upon approval. It directly affects how state agencies interact financially when sharing services internally.
