Bill > HB4275

This bill aims to standardize and clarify the rules and standards for certifying behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists in Oklahoma, ensuring uniformity across different employment settings. Specifically, it expands the types of employers for whom these professionals can be certified to include municipalities and counties, as well as organizations certified by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. The bill also clarifies the specific titles these certified professionals can use based on their employment, while explicitly stating that this certification does not permit them to practice professions requiring separate licenses, such as physician or psychologist. The legislation also sets a maximum fee of $100 for certification applications and renewals and establishes an effective date of November 1, 2026.
