Oklahoma Employees Insurance and Benefits Act; increasing opt-out amount for certain employees. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1924 increases the financial incentive for Oklahoma state employees who opt out of the state's basic health insurance plan. Currently, opting out provides $150 annually; starting July 1, 2026, this rises to $500 per month. Employees must provide proof of separate health insurance coverage each year to qualify for the payment. The bill affects state employees eligible for the basic health plan who choose to enroll in outside coverage instead of state-provided benefits.
