AI Summary
This bill broadens the purpose of the County Community Safety Investment Fund, which is managed by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, to include not only funding for county-level mental health and substance abuse programs but also to allow for awards to the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System Board for specific programs. The fund's purpose is expanded to allow for awards to the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System Board to support evidence-based pretrial diversion programs, mental health and substance use jail intake screenings, and jail reentry programs, with a limit of $1,000,000.00 annually for these specific purposes, and the Board must report on the use of these funds. The bill also updates statutory references and clarifies language related to the request for proposals process for county governments and multi-county partnerships seeking funds for various community programs, including mental health and substance abuse treatment, employment, education, and housing. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will be in full force immediately upon passage and approval.
