Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Added support for developmental disability services
Beginning July 1, 2025, Oklahoma DHS can use developmental disability service funds for support beyond fiscal year 2025 services. Allowed uses include introductory meetings and services for families and people advocating for themselves, plus training for case managers. DHS can also expand crisis services and improve how people enter the service system. The law sets no separate funding amount and does not require these expansions.
Protected meal funding for Oklahoma seniors
From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, Oklahoma DHS must keep senior nutrition funding at its fiscal year 2025 level. The money comes from its appropriation under House Bill 2766. DHS needs joint approval from the Senate President Pro Tempore and House Speaker to close sites for low attendance or higher costs. This approval rule does not guarantee that every site stays open.
Protected waiver services and extra meals
Beginning July 1, 2025, Oklahoma DHS must maintain funding for provider rates and approved services in five waiver programs. These are Community, Homeward Bound, In-Home Supports Waiver for Adults, In-Home Supports Waiver for Children, and ADvantage. DHS must also use $2.5 million to make the second daily meal permanent in the ADvantage Waiver Program. Both funding requirements use its appropriation under House Bill 2766.
Funding for Oklahoma child abuse response
Beginning July 1, 2025, Oklahoma DHS must transfer $5.6 million to the Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Account. The money comes from its appropriation under House Bill 2766. The account must distribute the money as required by Oklahoma law. This provision does not establish a household payment.
Replacement funding for Oklahoma human services
Beginning July 1, 2025, Oklahoma DHS must use $7.762004 million to replace money lost from reduced federal matching funds. The money comes from its appropriation under House Bill 2766. The law does not name the affected programs or set a household payment.
Federal funding for families and childcare
For July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, Oklahoma appropriates all federal money received from two grants to DHS. These are the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Block Grant and the Child Care and Development Block Grant. DHS must use the money to meet federal requirements for those grants. The law states no total amount and does not change who qualifies.
