This bill mandates that the Department of Human Services in Oklahoma must opt into and administer the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (Summer EBT) program, which is established under the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. The implementation of this program is set to begin with the 2026 program year, and the Department is required to submit all necessary documentation and meet federal requirements to ensure participation.

The bill will be codified as Section 241.5 of Title 56 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is scheduled to take effect on November 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance public assistance programs by providing additional support to families during the summer months through the Summer EBT program.
