Oklahoma EEOC filing deadline

Q: What is the EEOC charge filing deadline in Oklahoma?

300 days from the most recent discriminatory act under 42 U.S.C. §2000e-5(e)(1). Oklahoma has a designated Fair Employment Practices Agency (Oklahoma Office of Civil Rights Enforcement (OCRE) / Office of the Attorney General (assumed FEPA functions after Oklahoma Human Rights Commission was abolished by HB 1668, 2012)) enforcing a same-basis state anti-discrimination law, which triggers the 300-day extension under 29 CFR §1601.13.

Oklahoma is a 300-day federal jurisdiction for Title VII bases. The 300-day extension under 42 U.S.C. §2000e-5(e)(1) rule applies, with dual-filing mechanics under 29 CFR §1601.13.

Protected classes

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.]
