This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes focused on enhancing the response to mental health crises through the use of mobile crisis teams. It defines key terms such as "mobile crisis team," which consists of licensed mental health professionals and certified peer recovery support specialists, and outlines the process for requesting assistance from these teams. The bill mandates that municipal and county law enforcement agencies develop protocols to provide timely access to safety-related information, which includes any relevant data that could impact the safety of responders during a crisis intervention.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any safety-related information disclosed must be limited to what is necessary for the safety of the mobile crisis team and must remain confidential, with exceptions only as required by law. It also provides immunity from liability for law enforcement employees who disclose safety-related information in accordance with the established protocols. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
