Bill No. 1390 amends the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act, specifically focusing on the investigation processes conducted by the Department of Human Services (DHS). The bill stipulates that when DHS investigates a child care facility, it must provide a written summary of the complaint allegations to the facility involved, upon request. Additionally, if a violation is found that directly impacts the health, safety, or well-being of children, the facility must be notified and required to correct the violation. The bill also introduces a provision that mandates the DHS to notify the facility owner or operator of any substantiated findings of severe abuse within one business day, and the facility must then inform parents or guardians within 72 hours.

A significant change introduced by the bill is that the report of the investigation will remain publicly accessible, regardless of whether the facility's license is active or inactive. This aims to enhance transparency and accountability in child care facilities. Furthermore, the bill establishes a grievance process for reporting and investigating complaints against DHS employees who may retaliate against child care facilities or their employees. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
