Department of Corrections; requiring certain accommodations for certain inmates. Effective date.
SB 145 requires Oklahoma correctional facilities to provide specific accommodations for lactating inmates, including equipment for pumping breast milk, storage bags, refrigeration/freezing options, and safe handling procedures for delivering breast milk to a designated recipient. The bill directly affects incarcerated individuals who are postpartum and lactating. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections must create implementing rules to administer these requirements, with the law taking effect November 1, 2025. This policy change mandates concrete facility provisions rather than altering broader correctional practices.
