Oklahoma extends child death reviews through 2031

The law re-creates Oklahoma’s Child Death Review Board and extends its operation through July 1, 2031. The emergency clause makes it operative immediately upon enactment; the listed formal effective date is July 1, 2026. The board reviews child deaths and near-deaths where abuse or neglect may be involved. It can obtain medical, school, child welfare, and law enforcement records, and conduct joint reviews involving domestic violence. It recommends child protection improvements and refers cases when surviving siblings remain in danger. Case reviews remain confidential, review materials are generally protected from use as evidence, and improper disclosure can lead to civil damages. Annual statistical reports are due May 1, and public activity summaries are due December 31. The law does not create household payments or change taxes, benefit eligibility, or consumer fees.
