Bill Summary
An Act relating to child custody; amending 10A O.S. 2021, Section 1-2-105, which relates to investigations of child abuse or neglect; authorizing persons subject to investigation to appeal the investigation’s substantiation; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law concerning child abuse and neglect investigations, specifically Section 1-2-105 of Title 10A. The key provision added is that any person who is the subject of a child abuse or neglect investigation now has the right to request a hearing to appeal if the investigation's findings are "substantiated," meaning the alleged abuse or neglect is officially determined to have occurred. This new right will be subject to the standard rules of evidence during such a hearing, and the bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
