Health care; granting certain rights and protections to parents and legal guardians; modifying conditions for self-consent of minors. Effective date.
SB 958 modifies Oklahoma health confidentiality laws to give parents and legal guardians greater access to their minor children's health information. It removes minors' right to block parents from seeing health records or attending medical consultations, requiring healthcare providers to share records and allow parental presence - except in cases involving suspected child abuse, neglect, or battery. The bill also updates rules around minors' self-consent for health services and clarifies when health professionals may disclose information. This directly affects minors under 18, their parents/guardians, and healthcare providers in Oklahoma.
