Bill No. 1676, known as the "Kay Floyd SANE Act," establishes a new position within the District Attorneys Council for a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Statewide Coordinator. This coordinator will be responsible for overseeing forensic medical examination training, recruiting and developing SANE professionals, and expanding local SANE and Sexual Assault Response Team programs across Oklahoma. The bill amends existing law to remove the funding availability condition and the previous expiration date of October 1, 2025, while establishing a minimum annual salary for the coordinator of $125,000 and a maximum of $140,000, to be paid from appropriated funds to the District Attorneys Council.
The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives on March 12, 2025. The changes made in the bill aim to enhance the support and resources available for sexual assault response and care in the state.
