University Hospitals Authority; making an appropriation; stating purpose. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 629 allocates $300,000 from Oklahoma's General Revenue Fund to the University Hospitals Authority for contracting with a nonprofit organization. The funds will provide free dental care to patients through this nonprofit partner, directly benefiting low-income Oklahomans who cannot afford dental services. The bill specifies that the appropriation is limited to covering costs for these no-cost dental services. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, and declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon passage. This is a funding measure, not a new policy, focused solely on financing existing dental access programs.
