Oklahoma SB642 expands workers' compensation rights and remedies for employees, clarifying exclusive liability and insurance coverage agreements.

Oklahoma SB642 amends the Administrative Workers’ Compensation Act to clarify that rights and remedies for employees are exclusive, barring other claims against employers or related parties. It also allows employees to sue for damages if employers fail to secure compensation. The act specifies that immunity does not extend to other employers on the same job site and maintains the loaned servant doctrine. It declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage.
