The bill amends Section 5009.2 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the Advisory Committee on Medical Care for Public Assistance Recipients. The key changes include increasing the committee's membership from a maximum of fifteen to sixteen members and adding a new member representing a contracted entity or a health plan association. Additionally, the language regarding the role of the vice-chair has been updated for clarity, and the term limits for the chair and vice-chair have been specified to allow for up to four consecutive one-year terms.

The Advisory Committee is tasked with advising the Oklahoma Health Care Authority on health and medical care services for low-income populations. It will meet bimonthly to review policy development, financial concerns, and other relevant information. The bill emphasizes the importance of the committee's recommendations in the Authority's decision-making process and outlines the support and reimbursement provisions for committee members. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
