HB 2013, "Dylan's Law," requires health insurance companies to cover epilepsy treatments equally to other conditions, prohibits dropping coverage solely due to an epilepsy diagnosis, and mandates coverage for medically necessary neurostimulation devices. It also allows individuals with epilepsy (diagnosed by a licensed doctor) to voluntarily add a unique symbol to their Oklahoma driver's license or ID card by June 1, 2026, to help first responders identify their condition during emergencies. The symbol cannot be used for any other purpose and may be removed at any time. These provisions became law on May 25, 2025, without a gubernatorial signature. The bill directly affects people with epilepsy and insurers operating under the Affordable Care Act in Oklahoma.
