Health care; creating the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act; prohibiting certain discrimination; granting certain protections; creating certain cause of action. Emergency.

SB 943, the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act, protects patients' right to refuse medical treatments, vaccines, or preventive procedures without facing discrimination in employment, public accommodations, or legal rights. It shields healthcare professionals - including doctors, nurses, and allied staff - from disciplinary action, license loss, or retaliation for speaking out against medical mandates, advocating for patient choice, or reporting unethical practices. The bill creates a legal cause of action for professionals harmed by such retaliation, allowing them to seek court-ordered relief and financial damages. These provisions apply to all healthcare settings and require regulatory bodies to prove any disciplinary action is unrelated to protected speech, with expedited court review.
