AI Summary
This bill amends Oklahoma law to transfer certain duties related to the County Community Safety Investment Fund from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (DMHSAS). It requires DMHSAS to issue an annual request for proposals for counties to apply for funding for evidence-based mental health, substance abuse, pretrial diversion, employment, education, and housing programs. Funding for the programs will come from savings and averted costs calculated by the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency resulting from the implementation of the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act. The bill also provides for the recodification of the amended sections.
