On or before January 1, 2011, the State Department of Health shall contract with community or faith-based organizations in order to expand the Postponing Sexual Involvement (PSI) for Young Teens program. The purpose of the program shall be to reduce the incidence of teen pregnancies in this state by encouraging teenagers to abstain from sexual activities.
B. The Postponing Sexual Involvement (PSI) for Young Teens program shall be directed to geographic areas in the state where the teen birth rate is higher than the state average and where the children and their families are in greatest need because of an unfavorable combination of economic, social, environmental, and health factors, including, without limitation, extensive poverty, high crime rate, great incidence of low birth weight babies, high incidence of alcohol and drug abuse, and high rates of teen pregnancy. The selection of a geographic site shall also consider the incidence of young children within these at-risk geographic areas who are cocaine babies, children of teenage parents, low birth weight babies, and very young foster children.
C. Funding for this program shall be provided from the unused funds from the Oklahoma Employer/Employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage pursuant to Section 1010.1 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes, not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).
