Bill Summary
An Act relating to courts; amending 20 O.S. 2021, Section 91.2, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 99, O.S.L. 2023 (20 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 91.2), which relates to district court dockets; providing for the establishment of child protection dockets; requiring assigned judges to exclusively hear child protection cases; providing for specific training; directing the Administrative Office of the Courts to implement certain procedures; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a dedicated "child protection docket" within Oklahoma's district courts, meaning that judges assigned to this docket will focus exclusively on hearing cases related to child protection. To ensure they are well-equipped, these judges will receive specific training in areas such as child welfare law, child trauma, and the foster care system. The Administrative Office of the Courts, a state agency responsible for managing court operations, will be directed to create uniform procedures for all child protection dockets across the state to ensure consistency in how these sensitive cases are handled. This bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
