The bill amends the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act, specifically 10 O.S. 2021, Section 406, to enhance the investigation process of child care facilities. It establishes that the Department of Human Services has the authority to investigate any child care facility at reasonable times and requires that when reviewing the star rating of larger facilities (those with a capacity of fifty or more), the comprehensive visit must be scheduled at least one week in advance if requested by the facility. Additionally, the bill mandates that upon completion of an investigation into a complaint, the findings must be clearly designated in the report, stating whether the complaint was substantiated or unsubstantiated.

A significant insertion in the bill is that the report of the investigation shall remain available to the public, regardless of whether the facility's license is active or inactive. This aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the child care system. The bill also emphasizes the confidentiality of information obtained during investigations while allowing for summaries of allegations and findings to be shared without disclosing identities. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
