Bill > HB4095

This bill modifies the structure and appointment process for the Oklahoma 2-1-1 Collaborative, which serves as the state's lead entity for 2-1-1 call centers that provide essential hotline services for needs like food, housing, and medical assistance. Specifically, the bill reduces the total membership of the Collaborative from fifteen to nine individuals, with a revised breakdown of public and private sector representatives. Instead of current call centers selecting members, appointments will now be made by the Governor, the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, and the President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma State Senate, with each appointing three members, ensuring a mix of public and private sector representation. These appointed members will serve three-year terms and are eligible for reappointment, with initial staggered terms to ensure continuity. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
