AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Oklahoma law by removing the definition of "harm-reduction services" from the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, which are programs aimed at reducing disease spread, drug dependency, and overdose deaths, and improving safe syringe disposal. It also eliminates a specific protection that previously exempted harm-reduction service providers from certain regulations regarding drug paraphernalia. Additionally, the bill updates statutory language related to drug paraphernalia to remove references to this protection.
