HB 2914 creates Oklahoma's Respite Care Pilot Program, providing temporary relief to primary caregivers of seniors aged 65+ who work evening or nontraditional schedules. The bill establishes state-funded vouchers or waivers through the Department of Human Services (DHS), enabling caregivers to access weekend and evening care services at licensed adult day centers or residential care facilities. Eligibility requires proof of senior care responsibility, nontraditional work hours, and financial need, with providers reimbursed by the state. DHS will administer the pilot in designated counties, report annually on participation and outcomes, and seek federal/state funding to support the program, which takes effect November 1, 2025.
