SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-11-102 of Title 10A, unless
there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. The Oklahoma Legislature finds that:
1. Repeated fentanyl-exposed births constitute a foreseeable
and preventable risk to infant safety;
2. Department of Human Services policies do not consistently
trigger enhanced intervention, cross-case review, or family
notification when a mother repeatedly gives birth to fentanyl-
positive infants;
3. The death of Sir Major White-Bullock, an eleven-month-old
child who died from fentanyl toxicity after documented repeated
prenatal exposure demonstrates a systemic failure, not a single
error; and
4. Stable family members are often willing and capable of
protecting children but are not notified due to procedural silos or
narrow interpretations of confidentiality.
B. It is the purpose of the Oklahoma Legislature to:
1. Close policy gaps that allow repeat prenatal fentanyl
exposure without escalated response;
2. Require enhanced intervention by the Department for repeat
fentanyl-exposed births;
3. Ensure qualified, stable family members are notified and
engaged as child welfare stakeholders;

and due process for parents; and
5. Enhance child safety and early intervention.
SECTION 3. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-11-103 of Title 10A, unless
there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
When used in the Sir Major White-Bullock Child Protection and
Family Notification Act, unless the context otherwise requires:
1. "Fentanyl-exposed infant" means a newborn who tests positive
at birth for fentanyl or whose mother tests positive for fentanyl at
delivery;
2. "Enhanced child safety review" means a mandatory, multi-
disciplinary response by the Department of Human Services triggered
by repeat prenatal fentanyl exposure;
3. "Qualified familial child welfare stakeholder" means a
grandparent, adult sibling, aunt, uncle, or other adult relative
who:
a. has no substantiated child abuse or neglect findings,
b. is willing to participate in safety planning or
placement, and
c. may serve as a temporary or permanent caregiver; and
4. "Repeat prenatal fentanyl exposure" means two or more
fentanyl-exposed births by the same parent within a five-year
period.
