What changed in the latest version
60 added · 77 removedPlain-language change summary
In the updated version of Bill SB 658, specific language has been added to clarify that the Oklahoma Department of Human Services cannot require adoptive or foster parents to accept government policies related to sexual orientation or gender identity if it conflicts with their religious or moral beliefs. Additionally, the bill states that such beliefs cannot be used as a reason to deny authorization for adopting or fostering. This change is significant because it aims to protect the rights of potential adoptive and foster parents who hold certain beliefs, which could impact the overall adoption process in Oklahoma.
