The bill enacts the "Children and Juvenile Code Act of 2026," establishing a new legal framework specifically addressing issues related to children and juveniles in the state of Oklahoma. This new section of law will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes, indicating that it will exist as a standalone act rather than being integrated into the existing legal code.

The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026, allowing for a future implementation of the provisions outlined within the bill. This timeline provides an opportunity for stakeholders to prepare for the changes that will come with the enactment of the new code.
