Bill > HB3649

This bill modifies existing law concerning real property managed by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (DMHAS) by requiring all proceeds from the sale of such property to be deposited into the DMHAS Real Property Trust, which is a fund established to hold and manage the department's real estate. The bill expands the permissible uses of these sale proceeds to include tangible infrastructure improvements, capital projects, or other purposes that directly benefit individuals served by the DMHAS. Additionally, it adds several specific tracts of land in various Oklahoma counties to the list of properties that can be sold, while still prohibiting the use of these funds for prevention or treatment services. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
