Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) - Oklahoma

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Polygraph protection

Oklahoma does not have state-level polygraph protection requirements. Private-sector employees are provided protection under federal requirements at 29 CFR Part 801.

Polygraph examiners

The qualifications for obtaining a license include that the person must be at least 21 years old, a U.S. citizen, never have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, have met certain education and work experience requirements, have passed an approved course of formal instruction, and have passed a written examination administered by the Department.
