SB 2037 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Artificial intelligence; requiring informed consent for use by licensed mental health professional or health care provider; authorizing and prohibiting certain uses. Emergency.

SB 2037 requires licensed mental health professionals and health care providers in Oklahoma to obtain written, informed consent from patients before using artificial intelligence (AI) for therapy or psychotherapy services. The bill prohibits AI from making independent therapeutic decisions, directly interacting with clients during sessions, generating treatment plans without provider review, or detecting emotions. It mandates that providers maintain full responsibility for all AI-assisted interactions and explicitly states that final clinical decisions must be made by licensed professionals, not AI systems. Violations may result in disciplinary action and fines up to $10,000 per incident, enforced by licensure boards or the Attorney General.
