Senate Bill No. 159 mandates the establishment of a headquarters and veterans resource center by the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs in Del City, Oklahoma. This center will provide information and referral services to connect veterans with available public and private services. Additionally, the bill requires collaboration among state agencies that offer services to veterans to ensure these services are accessible through the new resource center. An online interactive portal will also be created to support public and private veteran services, detailing all available services for veterans in the state.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the Oklahoma Unified Veteran Services Commission, composed of eleven members from various state agencies and legislative bodies. This Commission is tasked with studying and evaluating the resources and costs associated with the new headquarters and resource center. They will collaborate with state agencies to assess the needs for providing services and are required to submit their findings, including potential sites and evaluations, by December 31, 2026. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
