Program certification – Intent of provision
Official statutory text
Any entity, including the Administrative Office of the Courts,
“certifying” mediators for its program shall make clear in all
communications regarding the “certification” that the mediator is
“certified” for that program only. Any mediator certified under the
Dispute Resolution Act or qualified under the District Court
Mediation Act shall be considered “certified” for purposes of any
federal programs that require the use of “certified mediators” or
“certified programs”. The intent of this provision is to avoid the
misconception that there is one certifying body for mediators in
Oklahoma and to permit agencies to utilize available state and
federal funds for operation of mediation programs and, where
appropriate, for the compensation of mediators.
