The bill amends Section 2 of Chapter 183 of the Oklahoma Statutes, updating definitions and statutory references related to guardianships. It introduces the "Courtney Smith Act," which modifies the definition of general guardianship, gravely disabled individuals, and inpatient mental health treatment. Notably, the definition of gravely disabled now includes a provision that such a condition shall be considered an imminent danger to self when specific criteria are met. Additionally, the duration for inpatient mental health treatment is changed from twenty-four hours to forty-eight hours.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the conditions under which a guardian can apply for an order to retrieve a gravely disabled ward from an unsheltered environment and deliver them to an inpatient treatment facility. These conditions include the ward's inability to meet basic personal needs due to mental illness, the inability to request assistance, or the inability to survive safely without involuntary detention. The bill also clarifies that individuals evaluated or treated for mental illness cannot be presumed incompetent solely based on that evaluation or treatment. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
