SB 361 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Indigenous or traditional healing therapies; granting certain protections to practitioners; prohibiting certain acts. Effective date.

SB 361 protects indigenous traditional healing practitioners in Oklahoma who lack state healthcare licenses. It prohibits them from performing medical procedures (like surgery or prescribing drugs) or falsely claiming licensure, while shielding them from penalties under healthcare laws when practicing traditional methods within defined limits. The bill defines "indigenous or traditional healing therapy" and ensures practitioners cannot be penalized for offering culturally specific wellness services that comply with its restrictions. Effective November 1, 2025, it codifies these protections in Oklahoma Statutes (Title 59, Section 732).
