This bill amends Section 1-1923 of the Oklahoma Statutes to extend the sunset date for the Long-Term Care Facility Advisory Council from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2027. The Advisory Council, which is composed of thirteen members appointed by the Governor, serves to advise the State Commissioner of Health on matters related to long-term care facilities. The composition of the council includes representatives from various health and human services agencies, medical professionals, and members of the public, particularly those over the age of sixty-five who do not have a long-term care professional background.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Advisory Council, which include advising the Department on service development and improvement, reviewing the quality of care provided in long-term care facilities, and evaluating the standards and practices related to the administration of relevant care acts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
