Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-1455

A. There is hereby re-created, to continue until July 1, 2026,

in accordance with the provisions of the Oklahoma Sunset Law, the

Polygraph Examiners Board.

B. 1. The persons serving on the Board on June 30, 1988, shall

continue to serve the full terms for which they were originally

appointed until their successors have been duly appointed and

approved with the advice and consent of the Senate. All future

Boards shall continue the staggered terms of office established for

the Polygraph Examiners Board prior to July 1, 1988.

2. Any actions taken by any state agency on behalf of the

Polygraph Examiners Board or in an attempt to enforce the provisions

of the Polygraph Examiners Act shall be subject to review by the

Board. Any such acts may be rescinded or modified as deemed

appropriate by the Board, provided that such action shall not affect

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 1115

any accrued right, or penalty incurred, or proceeding begun between

July 1, 1988, and October 12, 1988.

3. All funds collected after June 30, 1988, equipment, files,

fixtures, furniture, and supplies of the Board which were

transferred to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services or

State Treasury pursuant to Section 3909 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma

Statutes shall be returned to the care and custody of the Board.

4. All orders, determinations, rules, regulations, permits,

certificates, licenses, contracts, rates, and privileges which have

been issued, made, granted, or allowed by the Board and are in

effect on June 30, 1988, shall continue in effect according to their

terms until further action is taken by the Board or as modified by

law.

C. The Board shall consist of five (5) members who shall be

citizens of the United States and residents of the state for at

least two (2) years prior to appointment, all of whom shall have

been engaged for a period of two (2) consecutive years as polygraph

examiners prior to appointment to the Board, and at the time of

appointment active polygraph examiners. No two Board members may be

employed by the same person or agency. No more than two members may

be appointed from one congressional district. However, when

congressional districts are redrawn, each member appointed prior to

July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes effective

shall complete the current term of office and appointments made

after July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes

effective shall be based on the redrawn districts. No appointments

may be made after July 1 of the year in which such modification

becomes effective if such appointment would result in more than two

members serving from the same modified district. At least two

members must be qualified examiners of a governmental law

enforcement agency and at least two members must be qualified

polygraph examiners in the commercial field. The members shall be

appointed by the Governor of the State of Oklahoma, with the advice

and consent of the Senate, for terms of six (6) years. Any vacancy

in an unexpired term shall be filled by appointment of the Governor,

with the advice and consent of the Senate, for the unexpired term.

Except as authorized by the Polygraph Examiners Act, members of the

Board shall be paid no fee, expense reimbursement, wage or other

compensation for their services.

D. The vote of a majority of the Board members is sufficient

for passage of any business or proposal which comes before the

Board. The Board shall elect a chair, vice-chair, and secretary

from among its members.
