Bill No. 1390 amends the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act, specifically focusing on the investigation processes of child care facilities by the Department of Human Services. The bill stipulates that the Department has the authority to investigate child care facilities at reasonable times and requires facilities to provide information about the children in their care. Notably, when reviewing the star rating of larger child care programs (with a capacity of fifty or more), the Department must schedule inspections at least one week in advance if requested by the facility. Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures for handling complaints against child care facilities, including documentation of complaints, notification of violations, and the potential consequences for non-compliance.

A significant addition to the bill is the requirement that investigation reports remain publicly accessible, regardless of the status of the facility's license. This ensures transparency and accountability in the licensing process. 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. Furthermore, it mandates the establishment of a grievance process for reporting and investigating complaints against Department employees who may retaliate against child care facilities. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
