The bill establishes the "Behavioral Health Act of 2026," which is a new piece of legislation aimed at addressing issues related to professions and occupations in the behavioral health field. It introduces a new section of law that will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes, thereby creating a distinct framework for behavioral health practices and regulations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect on November 1, 2026. This timeline allows for the necessary preparations and adjustments within the relevant sectors to comply with the new regulations set forth by the Act.
