Bill No. 1680 amends existing legislation regarding the temporary detention of children in juvenile facilities in Oklahoma. The bill specifies that the Office of Juvenile Affairs will not be required to provide detention services unless it has designated and is operating such facilities. It also outlines the responsibilities of county sheriffs and other designated personnel for transporting juveniles to secure detention, and establishes reimbursement rates for transportation services. Notably, the hourly fee for personal services has been increased from Seventeen Dollars ($17.00) to Thirty-two Dollars ($32.00).

Additionally, the bill mandates that all juvenile detention facilities must be certified by the Office of Juvenile Affairs, which will set standards for certification. It allows county boards of commissioners to provide temporary detention services and construct or rent facilities for this purpose. The bill also emphasizes the need for liability insurance for contractors involved in the operation of juvenile detention facilities and transportation services. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
