The Oklahoma Rural Hospitals Funding Assistance Grant Program Act of 2025 establishes a new grant program aimed at supporting rural hospitals in the state. The program will be administered by the State Department of Health and is designed to ensure adequate access to healthcare services in rural areas, particularly for populations that face challenges in accessing medical care due to distance. The act defines "adequate medical care facilities" and outlines the criteria for eligibility, including the requirement that facilities must be located in municipalities with populations under 5,000 and be owned by a public trust or municipality.

Additionally, the act creates the Oklahoma Rural Hospitals Funding Assistance Grant Program Revolving Fund, which will be a continuous fund not subject to fiscal year limitations. This fund will consist of all monies directed for deposit by law and will be appropriated for use by the State Department of Health to support the grant program. The act also authorizes the Department to develop rules and procedures necessary for its implementation. The program is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause has been included to ensure its immediate enactment upon passage and approval.
