Section 260:25-1-1 - Purpose

(a) The Personnel Administration Rules are the administrative rules which govern employment with the State of Oklahoma.

(b) Rulemaking entities. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services has promulgated the Personnel Administration Rules which are included in this Chapter.

(d) Statutory authority for the Personnel Administration Rules. The authority for the Personnel Administration Rules is found in the Oklahoma Statutes which are Oklahoma laws. The primary basis for the Personnel Administration Rules is the Oklahoma Personnel Act, which is found in Sections 840-1.1 et seq. of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

(e) Changes in the rules and interpretation of rules. Rules may be changed on an emergency or permanent basis as situations and needs demand. New federal or state laws may replace or affect the interpretation of the Personnel Administration Rules.

(f) Effect of other laws on Personnel Administration Rules. Some laws govern a specific personnel practice that applies only to a certain agency or in a certain situation. The provisions of all of these specialized laws are not referenced in the Personnel Administration Rules. There may be cases where such a law will replace a rule or part of a rule in a certain agency or situation.

(g) Legal cites. Some of the Personnel Administration Rules in this Chapter restate or exactly repeat language from laws. Italic type means the language exactly repeats language from a law or other legal instrument. The specific reference appears in brackets following the language in Italics. Language from laws or other legal instruments which is restated in other words is also followed by a reference in brackets, but it is not printed in Italics.
