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.

MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate floor, including the addition of a new Senate sponsor. The core policy content, specifically the definition of a 'family resource center' and the effective date, remains identical to the House version.
TECHNICAL
Added 'Stanley of the Senate' as a co-sponsor to the bill.
Updated the header and footer text to indicate the document is the 'Senate Floor Version' instead of the 'House Floor Version'.
