Annual timeline and public reports

By October 1 each year, starting in 2023, the Commission or its contractor finishes that year’s scheduled evaluations. By December 15 each year, the Commission sends results to the Governor and legislative leaders. The report is posted on the Commerce website, the Commission website, and documents.ok.gov. If an evaluation is changed, the report shows both the original and the modified version.

Standard rules, data access, and privacy

The Commission sets evaluation criteria through formal rulemaking and adds them to the Commerce Department’s code. State agencies must supply needed records and data unless the Constitution or law bars it. The Commission and its contractors cannot release agency data unless the law allows it.

Stronger tests of incentive results

Each evaluation must check if the incentive changes business behavior or if firms would act anyway. It must compare results to similar programs in Oklahoma and other states. It must recommend better data collection, reporting, and clearer goals to improve future reviews. It must assess whether the incentive supports Oklahoma’s strategic goals and industries. It must judge whether the incentive gives the state a competitive edge.

Outside experts and stricter contact rules

The Commission can hire private, nonprofit, or academic experts to evaluate incentives. Contracts must include at least one draft report before the final version. The Office of Management and Enterprise Services pays these contract costs. Incentive recipients and applicants cannot contact the contractor unless the contractor asks for information. They may speak in a public hearing. Each evaluation is done with the Commerce Department’s Policy, Research and Economic Analysis Division.
