Expands existing maternity leave laws for state employees to parental leave, ensuring that all parents, including adoptive parents, are covered.
SB 314 and SB 87 are companion bills that must both pass to take effect. SB 87 clarifies that state university employees qualify for parental leave just like other state employees, but since Oklahoma law currently only provides maternity leave, SB 314 broadens the language from maternity leave to parental leave for consistency. Because the state cannot have two separate leave policies, SB 87 expands leave to university employees, and SB 314 updates legal references to ensure the change applies to all state employees.
