21 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-11-101 of Title 10A, unless

1 SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
2 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-11-102 of Title 10A, unless
3 there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
4 A. The Oklahoma Legislature finds that:
5 1. Repeated drug-exposed births constitute a foreseeable and
6 preventable risk to infant safety;
7 2. Department of Human Services policies do not consistently
8 trigger enhanced intervention, cross-case review, or family
9 notification when a mother repeatedly gives birth to drug-positive
10 infants;
11 3. The death of Sir Major White-Bullock, an eleven-month-old
12 child who died from fentanyl toxicity after documented repeated
13 prenatal exposure demonstrates a systemic failure, not a single
14 error; and
15 4. Stable family members are often willing and capable of
16 protecting children but are not notified due to procedural silos or
17 narrow interpretations of confidentiality.
18 B. It is the purpose of the Oklahoma Legislature to:
19 1. Close policy gaps that allow repeat prenatal drug exposure
20 without escalated response;
21 2. Require enhanced intervention by the Department for repeat
22 drug-exposed births;
23 3. Ensure qualified, stable family members are notified and
24 engaged as child welfare stakeholders;
Req. No. 14165 Page 2
1 4. Prioritize child safety while maintaining treatment access
2 and due process for parents; and
3 5. Enhance child safety and early intervention.

5 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-11-103 of Title 10A, unless
6 there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
7 When used in the Sir Major White-Bullock Child Protection and
8 Family Notification Act, unless the context otherwise requires:
9 1. "Drug-exposed infant" means a newborn who tests positive at
10 birth for a controlled dangerous substance or whose mother tests
11 positive at delivery;
12 2. "Enhanced child safety review" means a mandatory, multi-
13 disciplinary DHS response triggered by repeat prenatal drug
14 exposure.
15 3. "Qualified familial child welfare stakeholder" means a
16 grandparent, adult sibling, aunt, uncle, or other adult relative
17 who:

20 placement, and
21 c. may serve as a temporary or permanent caregiver; and

23 exposed births by the same parent within a five-year period;
