Health care; allowing patients to request certain restrictions on disclosure of protected health information. Effective date.

SB 567 allows patients in Oklahoma to request restrictions on how their protected health information (like medical records) and certain personal details (such as Social Security numbers, bank account info, or contact data) are shared by healthcare providers or other covered entities. It specifically lets patients limit disclosures for treatment, payment, health operations, communication with family, or sharing with other healthcare organizations. The bill codifies these patient rights under Oklahoma law, aligning with federal HIPAA definitions, and takes effect November 1, 2025. This directly affects patients seeking control over their health data and healthcare providers handling that information.
