The bill amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to protective services for vulnerable adults, specifically focusing on the reporting and investigation processes for cases of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Key changes include limiting certain reporting duties and public disclosures to only those findings that are substantiated, thereby enhancing the focus on verified incidents. The bill also updates statutory language and references, and it repeals a previous section concerning investigations that is now deemed unnecessary.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that provide immunity to individuals who report suspected abuse in good faith, while also imposing civil liability for those who make false reports. It establishes clearer guidelines for the notification process to caretakers and next of kin regarding investigations, ensuring that vulnerable adults' rights and wishes are respected, particularly when they retain the capacity to consent. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
