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 duration of appointments to the committee is specified to not exceed four consecutive calendar years, starting from January 1, 2022.

The Advisory Committee is tasked with advising the Oklahoma Health Care Authority on health and medical care services, meeting bimonthly to review policy development, financial concerns, and other relevant information. The bill also outlines the support the committee will receive from the Authority and establishes that members will not be compensated for their services but will be reimbursed for travel expenses. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
