SB 903 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

State Medicaid program; adding member to the Advisory Committee on Medical Care for Public Assistance Recipients. Effective date.

This bill amends Oklahoma law to add a new member representing federally recognized American Indian tribes to the state Medicaid Advisory Committee, expanding the committee's composition to include sixteen members instead of fifteen. The change ensures tribal representation on the advisory body that reviews Medicaid policy, program administration, and health care service delivery for public assistance recipients. The bill also updates appointment terms to a maximum of four consecutive years and clarifies that committee members receive travel reimbursement but no compensation for their service. Effective November 1, 2025, the committee will continue its existing duties of providing recommendations to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority while incorporating the new tribal member's perspective.
