Okla. Admin. Code § 1:2019-43
Executive Order 2019-43
The Oklahoma Office of Workforce Development ("OOWD") currently houses Oklahoma Works, the State's workforce development initiative, and administers the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title I financially-assisted programs/activities under the U.S Department of Labor. OOWD is currently an operating division of Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City ("OSU-OKC").
After due consideration and consultation with members of the Governor's Cabinet, I have determined that, in order to create operating efficiencies and consolidate common functions that will save money, OOWD, its functions and employees, should be transferred to and become an operation division of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce ("ODOC") effective December 31, 2019.
As a result of such transfer, pursuant to Rules 260:25-15-11 and 260:25-15-12 of the Oklahoma Administrative Code, all accrued annual and sick leave of employees of OOWD shall be transferred from OSU-OKC to ODOC effective December 31, 2019.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the Secretary of Commerce and Workforce Development, the Executive Director of ODOC, the Executive Director of OOWD, and the President of OSU-OKC for immediate implementation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 22nd day of November, 2019.
