State Agencies Remain Paperbound
This article was written with the assistance of ai* software
SB1562 is a bill that wanted to make it easier for certain state agencies and boards to send their reports. It says that they would have to submit their reports electronically to the Governor and other important leaders, instead of using paper.
The agencies that would have had to follow this new rule include groups like the Bank Commissioner, the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth, and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board, among others.
The bill also updated some of the old wording in the laws to make it clearer and uses gender-neutral language, meaning it doesn’t use terms that only refer to one gender.
The bill failed to pass and will not be signed into law at this time.
Who would have benefited from this law?
✔️State Agencies: Agencies would have saved time and resources by switching to electronic submissions, reducing the need for paper reports and manual processing.
✔️Governor and Legislative Leaders: These leaders would have received reports more quickly and efficiently, enabling them to make informed decisions based on timely information.
