State employees; directing Office of Management and Enterprise Services to establish procedure for conversion of certain unused leave. Effective date.

SB 89 allows Oklahoma state employees to convert unused sick leave into retirement service credit instead of purchasing it. Specifically, it directs the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to create a procedure enabling employees to transfer unused sick leave toward required retirement service credit. This applies to eligible employees who would otherwise need to buy additional service credit for retirement purposes. The bill amends Oklahoma Statutes §840-2.20 and §913 to implement this conversion option, effective upon enactment.
