Sunset; State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure; extending sunset year.

HB 1041 extends the operational deadline for Oklahoma's State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026, under the state's Sunset Law. This bill does not create new rules or change the board's responsibilities but ensures the board continues operating to oversee licensing for professionals like counselors, family therapists, and behavioral practitioners. The board regulates licensure standards, handles complaints, and develops rules for these professions. The extension affects the board members, licensees, and the public relying on licensed behavioral health services, but it does not alter existing licensing requirements or policies.
