   (a) On and after July 1, 1967, the Board of Mental Health and
   Substance Abuse Services shall be the Mental Health and Substance
   Abuse Services Authority of the State of Oklahoma, and is authorized
   to receive grants of federal funds for the purpose of combating or
   preventing mental illness, including but not limited to funds for the
   treatment, care, rehabilitation, or training of the mentally ill, or
   for the establishment or expansion of any program of facilities or
   research projects relating to the mentally ill, or for construction of

   authorities for the granting of such funds. The Board of Mental Health
   and Substance Abuse Services shall serve as the sole designated state
   agency for receiving, disbursing, or administering federal funds for
   any of the aforesaid purposes, provided federal law requires such an
   agency and the Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is
   eligible to be such an agency under federal law. Construction
   projects, and applications therefor for any of the aforesaid purposes,
   shall not require the approval of any other state agency. Provided,
   that this section shall not prevent any other agency from receiving,
   disbursing, or administering federal grants for any of the aforesaid
   purposes in accordance with federal law.
   
   (b) In order to provide for an orderly transition to the Board of
   Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services of such of the aforesaid
   functions as are now vested in other public agencies, this section
   shall not affect the construction by other public agencies of
   community mental health facilities, or the maintenance by other public
   agencies of programs for mental health, or the furnishing by other
   public agencies of mental health services in child guidance centers,
   or the receipt by other public agencies of federal funds for any of
   such purposes.
