Bill No. 4298 amends the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act by allowing the Department of Human Services to provide electronic notice to current licensees regarding changes to rules, in addition to traditional mail. This change aims to enhance communication and ensure that all stakeholders are adequately informed about updates that may affect child care facilities. The bill also outlines the composition and responsibilities of various advisory committees and subcommittees that will provide recommendations for minimum requirements and desirable standards for child care facilities.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a Child Care Facility Peer Review Board to participate in the grievance process, ensuring that a majority of its members are representatives of child care facilities. It emphasizes the importance of consultation with multiple state agencies before promulgating new rules and mandates that at least sixty days' notice be given to licensees before any changes are implemented. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
