House Bill No. 4117, introduced by West (Tammy), aims to define the term "family resource center" within Oklahoma law. The bill establishes that a family resource center is a community, school, or faith-based hub that provides support services for families. These centers are characterized by a multigenerational, strengths-based, and family-centered approach, and they are designed to be responsive to community needs. They offer support at little to no cost, foster peer support networks to alleviate isolation and stress, and integrate access to employment services that enhance skills and promote long-term family stability.

The bill includes a provision for codification, meaning it will be formally added to the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 52 of Title 25, unless there is a duplication in numbering. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026.
