HB 3969 names the Charles E. "Bill" Johnson Correctional Center in Alva as a new facility within Oklahoma's state prison system. It amends existing law to add this facility to the official list of correctional centers managed by the Department of Corrections, effective November 1, 2026. The bill does not change policies, funding, or operations - it solely provides a formal name for this specific facility.
