SB 396 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Oklahoma Board of Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors; extending sunset date. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 396 extends the expiration date for Oklahoma's Board of Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026. This change ensures the existing board, which oversees alcohol and drug counseling licensure, continues operating without interruption. The bill updates the statutory sunset date in state law but does not alter the board's composition, membership requirements, or operational rules. It directly affects the board members, licensed counselors, and the oversight of substance abuse counseling services in Oklahoma.
