Parents' Bill of Rights; modifying applicability of certain right; requiring certain notice. Effective date.
SB 421 clarifies and expands parental rights in Oklahoma by requiring health care providers to give clear notice to parents about their rights to access medical records, consent to biometric scans or DNA testing, and direct their child's education and moral training. It lists 10 specific parental rights, including access to school records, healthcare decision-making, and notification if child abuse is suspected (with exceptions for ongoing investigations). The law applies directly to parents of minors and health care facilities, mandating written consent for certain medical procedures and records. It does not override child abuse reporting laws or prohibit lawful child welfare actions by courts or agencies.
