Oklahoma SB917 restricts retirement benefits for state and education employees charged with a felony, with reinstatement upon acquittal.
Oklahoma SB917 mandates that state and education employees charged with a felony forfeit their retirement benefits. The retirement system must suspend these benefits and notify the employee of their right to a hearing. If found not guilty, benefits are reinstated without credit for the forfeited period. Claims for payment are rejected during the charge period. The state prosecutor must notify the employer and retirement system of the charge; if not, the system may investigate. The law codifies these provisions in Oklahoma Statutes as Section 24.1A of Title 51.
