Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; creating certain office, position, and revolving fund within the State Department of Health. Effective date.

SB 1428 creates the Office of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Service Coordination within Oklahoma’s State Department of Health, effective November 1, 2026. The office will coordinate statewide dementia services, eliminate duplicated efforts, collect data, support staff training, and identify grant opportunities to improve care for individuals with Alzheimer’s or related dementias and their caregivers. It requires the office to maintain a full-time dementia services coordinator position to manage operations. The bill repeals two outdated sections of Oklahoma law (63 O.S. 2021, Sections 1-879.2 and 1-879.3) related to dementia services.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate floor, resulting in significant structural and content changes. The most notable substantive addition is a new Section 2 that formally creates a revolving fund in the State Treasury to finance the new Alzheimer's office, whereas the House version only mentioned the office without establishing a specific funding mechanism. Additionally, the Senate version expanded the office's duties to include identifying grant opportunities and streamlined the repeal section to remove conflicting prior statutes.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include the explicit creation of a dedicated revolving fund for the new office, ensuring a defined financial source for its operations.

FISCAL

Added a new section creating a 'Revolving Fund' in the State Treasury to receive grants and donations for the new Alzheimer's office.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific duties for the new office to identify and apply for grant opportunities to expand dementia services.

TECHNICAL

Revised the repeal section to explicitly remove two specific prior statutes (63 O.S. 2021, Sections 1-879.2 and 1-879.3) that are no longer needed.

Changed the committee report attribution from the Appropriations and Budget Committee to the Appropriations Committee and updated the date.
