This bill establishes new legal requirements for the Department of Human Services, the Office of Juvenile Affairs, and local government entities (counties, municipalities, or political subdivisions) in Oklahoma when there is reason to believe that a crime has been committed against a child in their custody by an employee or contractor. Each entity is mandated to exercise due diligence in ensuring that law enforcement takes appropriate action, which may include conducting investigations or filing reports. Furthermore, they are required to follow up with law enforcement every thirty days after the initial report until the case is resolved or the child is no longer in their custody.

The bill introduces three new sections to the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically codifying these responsibilities under Titles 10A and 30. It emphasizes the importance of accountability and timely action in cases of suspected crimes against children, aiming to enhance the protection of vulnerable youth in the state's care. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
