More mental wellness help for safety workers

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety must provide mental wellness services to public safety personnel and retirees. The department must maintain a Mental Wellness Division whose director reports to the Commissioner of Public Safety. The director can partner with private groups, and the division must keep its offices, records, technology, and other resources separate. A dedicated state fund pays for wellness services and programs using money appropriated or deposited under law. Its money remains available across fiscal years; the law specifies no dollar amount. Current and former division staff must protect participants' privacy. They cannot share private, legally protected health information with the commissioner or the public without the person's consent. Combined mental health data can go to the commissioner without revealing anyone's protected information. The commissioner can release that data publicly only to improve wellness policies, when the commissioner believes disclosure could help. The division must follow health privacy laws, promptly investigate privacy breaches, and take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
