Age discrimination - Oklahoma

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

The Oklahoma statutes are substantially equivalent to the federal discrimination laws. The state law allows a political subdivision to adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or handicap.

The Human Rights Commission and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have a Work Sharing Agreement that allows each agency to act as the other’s agent in cases of employment discrimination.
