Oklahoma Department of Human Services officials estimate reforms to the agency's child welfare operations will cost $150 million a year once all the improvements are in place.

Under an improvement plan made public Friday, the state will be responsible for about $100 million a year and the federal government will contribute about $50 million.

“It will require greater support in money and personnel from the state,” Gov. Mary Fallin said at a news conference.

“The state of Oklahoma is committed to making a good-faith attempt to implement this plan and to achieve the goals set out within it,” she said, standing with House Speaker Kris Steele and Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman.
