County commissioners; authorizing county commissioners to create certain relocation assistance program. Effective date.

SB 483 authorizes Oklahoma county commissioners to establish relocation assistance programs for homeless individuals. The program provides counties with the authority to cover travel and relocation costs for eligible participants who voluntarily move to a destination where a family member, employer, or other supporter agrees to receive and assist them. Eligibility requires participants to be homeless (defined as lacking stable housing), sober during travel, not on parole/probation without approval, and not having used such a program within the past two years. Counties must verify support from the receiving party through written attestation before travel and follow up within 90 days to confirm housing retention. The bill explicitly states counties conducting these programs are not liable for injuries or damages.
