Courts; providing for the establishment of child protection dockets; effective date.

HB 3510 establishes dedicated child protection dockets in Oklahoma district courts to handle cases involving child abuse, neglect, or custody disputes. It requires courts to create these specialized dockets, assign judges exclusively to hear such cases, and mandate that those judges receive specific training in child welfare law, trauma, and foster care systems. The bill also directs the Administrative Office of the Courts to implement uniform procedures across all child protection dockets statewide. This change directly affects child protection cases and the judges assigned to them, aiming to improve case handling through specialized expertise and standardized processes.
