OK HB1746

Authorizes juvenile detention facilities to prepare and submit individualized safety plans to the Office of Juvenile Affairs for juveniles who present an imminent risk of serious physical harm to themselves, other juveniles, staff, or the public

Requires safety plans to include documentation of the triggering incident, mental health screening, incident reports, disciplinary history, and a confinement management plan addressing hygiene, meals, education, visitation, recreation, and stepdown criteria

Mandates the Office of Juvenile Affairs approve or deny safety plans within 24 hours of transmission; plans are automatically deemed approved if no written response is provided within that timeframe

Prohibits punishment-based isolation and requires safety plans maintain access to essential services and due process protections, with any service restrictions limited to what is necessary to address the documented safety risk
