Short title – Legislative findings
Official statutory text
A. Sections 1 through 5 of this act shall be known and may be
cited as the "Oklahoma Prenatal Addiction Act."
B. It is the finding of the Oklahoma Legislature that the state
has a substantial interest in protecting children from the harm that
results from the abuse of drugs or alcohol by their mothers during
pregnancy, both for the sake of the child and because of the
potential cost to the state in providing medical and other care to
such children. The Legislature recognizes that the preferable and
most effective means of preventing birth defects and health problems
due to substance abuse by pregnant women is to provide readily
available and accessible prenatal care and appropriate substance
abuse treatment services, but further recognizes that in some
instances it may be necessary to use the authority of the state to
intervene for the purpose of preserving and protecting the health
and well-being of the child.
