Health care; creating the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act. Emergency.

SB 2029, the Oklahoma Medical Freedom Act, protects Oklahomans' right to refuse medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures without interference, and safeguards healthcare professionals who speak out against mandates. It prohibits licensing boards from disciplining doctors, nurses, or other providers for advocating patient rights, raising concerns about mandates, or whistleblowing on unethical practices. The bill creates legal recourse for healthcare workers facing retaliation, allowing them to seek injunctions, damages, and expedited court reviews. It directly affects patients making healthcare choices and healthcare professionals working in Oklahoma's medical system. The law takes effect immediately under an emergency declaration.
