The bill amends the Political Subdivisions Opioid Abatement Grants Act to update definitions and provisions related to opioid abatement funding. Key changes include the addition of new definitions for "approved purpose," which now encompasses uses authorized by opioid-related settlement agreements involving the State of Oklahoma. The bill also modifies the definition of the "Purdue Political Subdivision Fund" and clarifies that the fund will be maintained separately within the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Revolving Fund. Additionally, it allows the Office of the Attorney General to allocate up to 10% of the funds for statewide opioid abatement projects, contingent upon approval from the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Board.

Further amendments broaden the criteria for disbursing opioid grant awards to eligible participants, including factors such as opioid overdose deaths and prescription rates. The bill also stipulates that any remaining funds in the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Revolving Fund can be awarded as grants for approved purposes. The changes aim to enhance the effectiveness of opioid abatement efforts in Oklahoma and ensure that funds are utilized efficiently to address the opioid crisis. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
