Parental rights; granting certain rights and protections to parent or legal guardian; modifying disclosure requirements; authorizing certain civil actions. Effective date.

SB 2020 strengthens parental access to information about minor children by modifying Oklahoma's medical, educational, and counseling privacy laws. It removes minors' ability to block parents from accessing confidential communications with healthcare providers (amending 12 O.S. §2503) and clarifies parental rights to review school records, direct education, and make healthcare decisions (amending 25 O.S. §2002). The bill also revises medical treatment laws (63 O.S. §2602) to limit when minors can consent to treatment without parental involvement and updates disclosure rules for counselors (59 O.S. §§1910, 1939). These changes directly affect parents, legal guardians, and minors under 18 in healthcare, education, and counseling settings.
