SB 946 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Detention facilities; modifying provisions related to standards of certain facilities. Effective date.

SB 946 amends Oklahoma laws governing juvenile detention facilities and city/county jails to strengthen oversight and safety standards. It requires jails holding juveniles certified to stand trial as adults to notify the State Department of Health within 24 hours, and mandates that certain facility records be provided to the department. The bill modifies inspection protocols, cell requirements, staff availability, and construction compliance rules while prohibiting public disclosure of specific complaints and requiring redaction of sensitive information in reports. These changes directly affect juvenile detention facilities, city/county jails, and the State Department of Health, ensuring clearer accountability in facility operations.
