HB 4117 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Definitions; family resource center; codification; effective date.

HB 4117 establishes a formal definition for "family resource center" in Oklahoma law. The bill defines these centers as community, school, or faith-based hubs offering multigenerational, strengths-based support services at low or no cost, including peer support networks, community-responsive programming, and integrated employment services to reduce family isolation and promote stability. This definition applies to any entity operating such centers and will take effect on November 1, 2026. The bill does not create new programs or funding but provides a standardized framework for future initiatives.
