Oklahoma SB668 prohibits health care staffing agencies from charging excess fees to workers previously employed by covered facilities.

Oklahoma SB668 establishes a cap on fees charged by health care staffing agencies to workers previously employed by covered facilities, such as hospitals and nursing homes, within the past two years. The cap is set at 105% of the highest hourly wage paid by the facility during the worker's previous employment. The bill also allows covered facilities to take legal action against staffing agencies that violate this fee limit, with agencies becoming liable for damages if they are notified of the violation and fail to correct it. The act takes effect on November 1, 2025.
