Department of Public Safety Mental Wellness Division; expanding scope of eligibility. Effective date.
SB 146 expands mental wellness services provided by Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety to include retirees of public safety personnel (such as police and firefighters), in addition to current employees. It creates a dedicated revolving fund (Section 9102) to finance these services and strengthens privacy protections by prohibiting the sharing of individual mental health data without consent, while allowing aggregate data use for policy improvements (Section 9101). The bill also mandates that all Mental Wellness Division resources operate separately from other department divisions. These changes took effect November 1, 2025, after becoming law without the Governor's signature on May 29, 2025.
