This bill creates the Oklahoma Caregiver Respite Act, which establishes pilot programs for respite care vouchers or waivers for caregivers of seniors. These programs, run by the Department of Human Services, would provide financial help to eligible caregivers, especially those working evening or nontraditional hours, to access care services for seniors. The goal is to reduce caregiver burnout and support working families by offering flexible care options through adult day centers and residential care facilities.
