HB 3649 creates a trust for all real property owned by Oklahoma's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. It allows the sale of 12 specific land parcels (listed by location) but requires all sale proceeds to fund infrastructure improvements or capital projects directly benefiting the Department's clients - **not** prevention or treatment services. The trust mandates that most property remain held permanently, with only the named parcels eligible for sale under strict conditions. This bill directly affects the Department and the mental health clients it serves by governing how its land assets are managed and utilized.
