Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 74-30a: Legislative findings

The Legislature finds that drug and alcohol abuse is one of the

most critical problems facing law enforcement, education, and the

social service agencies in the State of Oklahoma and that the

problem continues to escalate, threatening the quality of life in

our state, destroying the integrity of the family, disrupting the

lives of children and adults, increasing crime, and creating a drain

on the resources available to combat those many problems through the

various state and local agencies in our state. In order to expand

and enhance the ability of the state to combat the serious drug and

alcohol problems, the Legislature finds that a centralized, well-

coordinated statewide effort is necessary to curb both the supply of

drugs and the demand for drugs and alcohol among Oklahomans,

especially our youth, and that a statewide plan should be

coordinated by the Attorney General of Oklahoma and developed by the

various state and local law enforcement, education, and social

service agencies in order to direct the efforts and activities of

all entities that are involved in efforts against drug and alcohol

abuse.
