Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board; creating Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board Revolving fund. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1295 creates a special fund within Oklahoma's State Treasury, managed by the Attorney General's Office, to develop a state and local database tracking domestic violence deaths. The bill appropriates $250,000 from the General Revenue Fund for fiscal year 2027 to support this database, which must be created within 24 months of the law's effective date (July 1, 2026). The database will be developed to meet requirements under existing law (Section 1601 of Title 22) for reviewing domestic violence fatalities. This funding directly supports the Attorney General's Office and local agencies involved in collecting and analyzing data on domestic violence-related deaths.
