HB 3834, the "Oklahoma Breakthrough Therapy Act," establishes a framework for ibogaine clinical trials in Oklahoma. It requires drug developers to match state funding for trials, provide detailed plans for FDA approval and post-approval patient access (including priority for state residents and low-income care), and share intellectual property proceeds with the state. These proceeds fund an "Ibogaine Intellectual Property Account" managed by the State Treasurer, which must be spent on programs for at-risk populations with conditions treatable by ibogaine (like opioid use disorder). The bill also protects Oklahoma-licensed medical professionals from adverse licensing actions for recommending ibogaine therapy.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to remove the requirement for a new law to be known as the 'Oklahoma Breakthrough Therapy Act' and replaced it with a generic citation. The scope of the bill was narrowed by removing the creation of a new 'Intellectual Property Account' in the State Treasurer's office and replacing it with a new 'Ibogaine Development Revolving Fund' managed by the Department of Health. Additionally, the requirement for the Department to match state funding with equal additional funding was changed to require matching state investment with equal additional funding, broadening the potential funding sources beyond just state funds.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted from establishing a specific statutory title and a dedicated Intellectual Property Account to creating a general Revolving Fund and removing the specific 'Breakthrough Therapy Act' title.
