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 entered into by the agency clearly state maximum fiscal obligations. Additionally, OMES is required to review encumbrances for multi-year contracts to ensure only necessary funds are allocated for the current fiscal year and to prohibit payments for non-budgeted expenditures.

The bill includes a declaration of emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the importance of implementing these financial oversight measures to maintain fiscal responsibility within the agency and ensure proper management of public funds.
