House Bill No. 2785 establishes new responsibilities for the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) regarding budget procedures for the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. The bill mandates that OMES conduct a review of the agency's budget before releasing appropriations, provide detailed reports on the agency's financial status to key government officials, and ensure that contracts clearly state maximum fiscal obligations. Additionally, OMES is required to review encumbrances for multi-year contracts to limit funds to the current fiscal year and to prevent payments for non-budgeted expenditures.

The bill includes a new section to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 34.401 of Title 62, which outlines these specific duties and requirements for OMES. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgency of these financial oversight measures.
