Opioid overdose fatalities; dissolving Overdose Fatality Review Board; providing for Attorney General oversight. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 391 extends the life of Oklahoma's Opioid Overdose Fatality Review Board until July 1, 2026 (previously set to expire in 2025), rather than dissolving it as the title suggests. The bill clarifies the Board's role in reviewing opioid overdose deaths of adults 18+, collecting data from medical examiners, hospitals, law enforcement, and other agencies, and making recommendations to improve prevention systems. It maintains strict confidentiality for all reviewed records, prohibiting their use in court proceedings unless available through other sources. The Board must continue coordinating with entities like the Child Death Review Board and develop statewide databases to inform policy changes aimed at reducing fatal overdoses.
