The bill amends the Oklahoma Children's Code to enhance the effectiveness of child abuse multidisciplinary review teams by establishing a lead agency, which must be a certified child advocacy center or another qualified agency selected by the district attorney with input from team members. It outlines the teams' responsibilities, including conducting joint investigations, developing protocols for handling child abuse cases, and ensuring effective communication among professionals. Additionally, the bill creates the Oklahoma Multidisciplinary Team Council to oversee these teams and their operations, ensuring a structured approach to child abuse investigations.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Account (CAMA) to allow the Department of Human Services to allocate funds to support child abuse multidisciplinary teams and accredited child advocacy centers. It repeals previous sections related to the Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team Account Fund and the Child Abuse Training and Coordination Council, streamlining the funding process. The new Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team Council will consist of nine members with expertise in child welfare, responsible for establishing guidelines, reviewing training curricula, and certifying the functioning of multidisciplinary teams. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
