State FEPA
State filing window
Runs independently of the federal 180/300 clock. Some states impose a tighter internal deadline; others (CA 3-year, IL/OH 730-day post-amendment) extend well past the federal window.
Worksharing posture
Worksharing agreement in effect. Filing with either the EEOC or the state agency typically constitutes filing with both.
Federal circuit
Oklahoma is in the 10th Circuit. Federal appellate treatment of Morgan (2002) continuing-violation doctrine and constructive-discharge doctrine varies by circuit and is reviewed quarterly.
Where Oklahoma state law goes beyond federal
Title VII covers race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. ADA adds disability; ADEA adds age 40+; GINA adds genetic information. Many state FEPAs cover additional bases that federal law does not — those gaps are real grounds even when the federal claim is closed.

State-specific notes
- [PLACEHOLDER: cite — Oklahoma Human Rights Commission abolished 2012; FEPA functions assumed by AG Office of Civil Rights Enforcement. State filing deadline 180 days under 25 O.S. §1350(B). The 29 CFR §1601.74 list still references 'Oklahoma Human Rights Commission' which is the pre-2012 name — this is a CFR-currency lag that needs reviewer verification.]
