§74-840-2.20A.
   
   A. When an agency of the State of Oklahoma or part of such an agency
   is closed because of an imminent peril threatening the public health,
   safety, or welfare of state employees or the public, the appointing
   authority shall place employees who are scheduled to work in the
   closed area on paid administrative leave or shall assign them to work
   in another location. Employees who are on paid administrative leave
   shall be in standby or on-call status during their normal scheduled
   duty hours. The appointing authority may call such employees to return
   to their normal duties and work location or respond to the demands of
   the situation as necessary.
   
   B. When the Governor or a designee of the Governor authorizes agencies
   or parts of agencies to maintain basic minimum services because
   hazardous weather conditions impede or delay the movement of employees
   to and from work, employees responsible for providing such basic
   minimum services shall report to work. Appointing authorities of
   agencies shall be responsible for determining essential agency
   functions and ensuring that employees who staff such functions are so
   informed. Leave alternatives for those employees not responsible for
   basic minimum services shall be established by the Administrator of
   the Office of Personnel Management.
   
   C. Appointing authorities of affected agencies shall notify the Office
   of Personnel Management of agency closings and reductions in services
   pursuant to this section.
   
   D. The provisions of this section are applicable to agencies and
   employees in the executive department of state government, including
   those on temporary and other limited term appointments. The provisions
   of this section shall not be applicable to employees of institutions
   within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education.
   
   E. The Administrator of the Office of Personnel Management shall adopt
   rules necessary to implement the provisions of this section.
