This bill establishes the State of Oklahoma's participation in the federal Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children (Summer EBT) program, aimed at providing supplemental nutrition assistance to eligible children during the summer months when schools are not in session, starting June 1, 2026. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) is designated to administer the program in accordance with federal regulations, and it is required to collaborate with the State Department of Education to determine the eligibility of children and streamline the application process for qualifying families.

Additionally, the bill mandates that both the Department of Human Services and the State Department of Education share necessary data to effectively implement and manage the Summer EBT program statewide. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to ensure its immediate enforcement upon passage and approval.
