House Bill No. 2784 amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to public health, specifically focusing on the Oklahoma State University Medical Authority and Medicaid supplemental payments. The bill authorizes the Oklahoma State University Medical Trust to enter into cooperative ventures for training students in Level I Trauma Centers and requires annual certification to ensure compliance with Medicaid standards. Additionally, it expands the authority of the Oklahoma State University Medical Authority to enter into agreements with other healthcare providers, make necessary contracts, and offer services to the public.
Furthermore, the bill establishes the Emergency Medicine Revolving Fund, which will be used to support training within Level I Trauma Centers operated by the Oklahoma State University Medical Trust. The fund will consist of appropriated monies and will not be subject to fiscal year limitations, allowing for ongoing support of emergency medicine training initiatives. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
