I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in the Office of the Governor by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Oklahoma, due to the occasional necessity to temporarily close state offices due to unsafe working conditions such as the presence of toxic fumes, life threatening damage to building structures, emergency operations, which would be disrupted by the presence of the usual work force, or any other condition that poses imminent peril to the safety of the work force, do hereby order:

1. The Director of the Department of Capital Assets Management ("DCAM"), or its successor agency, is appointed as my designee for issuing declarations for closing of state offices or buildings which are subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Capital Assets Management.

2. The Director is hereby authorized to take whatever action deemed necessary when hazardous conditions exist within state offices or buildings.

3. In those buildings housing state offices which are not subject to the jurisdiction to DCAM, Appointing Authorities or their designee shall make the declaration of emergency required to close the office to state employees due to conditions posing imminent peril to the work force.

4. Employees affected by such office closings shall be placed on Administrative Leave while the workplace is closed.

5. Any agency located in a building subject to the jurisdiction of DCAM shall not close an office in that building without authority from the Director or a designee of the Director.

6. All office or building closings shall be reported to the Office of the Governor the same day that the office or building closed.

Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the Director of DCAM who shall cause the provisions of this Executive Order to be implemented.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this 16th day of April, 2019
