Bill No. 1680 amends existing legislation regarding the temporary detention of children in juvenile facilities in Oklahoma. The bill updates the reimbursement rate for transportation services provided by the Office of Juvenile Affairs, increasing the fee for personal services from Seventeen Dollars ($17.00) to Thirty-two Dollars ($32.00) per hour. Additionally, it outlines the responsibilities of county sheriffs and other designated personnel in transporting juveniles, as well as the requirements for private contractors providing transportation services, including the need for liability insurance.

The bill also emphasizes the certification of juvenile detention facilities by the Office of Juvenile Affairs and establishes standards for their operation. It allows county boards of commissioners to create multicounty trust authorities for managing juvenile detention facilities and outlines the conditions under which these facilities can be operated, including the necessity for contracts with qualified public or private agencies. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
