The bill amends the Oklahoma Children's Code to enhance the functions of multidisciplinary child abuse teams. It directs these teams to review cases of child sexual abuse and neglect, rather than merely intervening in reports. The bill mandates that these teams conduct joint investigations involving law enforcement and child welfare staff, develop written protocols for these investigations, and formalize a case review process that includes the use of a secure database. Additionally, the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth is tasked with creating and maintaining this database, which will collect case information and facilitate better management and reporting of child abuse cases.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the database will be used to ensure confidentiality and will help identify trends for improving the child service system. It also requires the Commission to promulgate rules for the implementation of these provisions. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to improve the coordination and efficiency of child abuse investigations and enhance the support provided to affected children and families.
