Health care; creating the Lori Brand Patient Bill of Rights Act of 2025; specifying certain patient rights and responsibilities. Effective date.

SB 761, the Lori Brand Patient Bill of Rights Act of 2025, establishes specific rights for patients receiving care in Oklahoma hospitals and healthcare facilities. It requires hospitals to provide respectful care in safe environments, ensure patients understand treatment options (including risks and alternatives), and allow access to medical records in requested formats. The bill mandates clear communication about advance care planning, privacy protections, and the right to refuse treatment (with consequences explained), while requiring hospitals to inform patients over 65 about Medicare rights and research participation options. It also specifies that hospitals must honor advance directives where legally permissible and provide written grievance processes for care concerns. The law directly affects all patients in Oklahoma healthcare settings by codifying these patient protections into state statute.
