*Rule Impact:

The proposed rule will most likely affect political subdivisions seeking opioid grant awards from the Abatement Board as well as persons suffering opioid use disorder. At this time, the Board cannot foresee any cost impacts nor has it received any reports of cost impacts from private or public entities. Oklahoma political subdivisions and the general public, including those affected by the opioid epidemic, will benefit from the promulgation of these rules. In short, the State will benefit as a whole. The Board intends that the opioid grant awards will offset the costs to political subdivisions used to respond to the opioid epidemic. The rules do not include any imposition of fees or fee changes. The Board does not believe that there will be probable costs and risks to the agency and to any other agency as a result of implementing these emergency rules. Moreover, the Board cannot anticipate any effect on state revenues. To the extent that there will be net loss or gain, one cannot be projected at this time. The Board cannot anticipate that implementation of the proposed emergency rules will have an adverse economic effect on small business. Nonetheless, the Board believes an economic effect on small business will actually be positive rather than adverse. Based on the rules as set forth, the Board does not believe that there will compliance costs. Without compliance costs, a finding concerning nonregulatory methods or less intrusive methods to achieve the purpose of the proposed emergency rules is unnecessary. The Board finds that the proposed rules will benefit public health and safety as the rules intend to ensure that political subdivisions will receive more funds to abate the effects from the opioid epidemic by using the funds for approved purposes as outlined in law. If these emergency rules are not implemented, the public health and safety of communities across Oklahoma devastated by the opioid epidemic will continue to operate without sufficient financial resources to prevent accidental overdoses, detect fentanyl-laced drugs, and respond to the emergence of the compounding consisting of fentanyl and xylazine. The Board does not anticipate any detrimental effect on the environment from the implementation of these rules.
