Health care; creating the Lori Brand Patient Bill of Rights Act of 2025; specifying certain patient rights and responsibilities. Effective date.

SB 761, the Lori Brand Patient Bill of Rights Act of 2025, establishes 21 specific rights for patients receiving care in Oklahoma hospitals. It directly affects all patients by guaranteeing respectful care, clear communication, informed consent for treatments (including risks and alternatives), access to medical records, privacy protections, and the right to participate in care decisions. Key provisions require hospitals to provide advance directive information, honor ethical concerns, explain complaints processes, and disclose ownership details via public websites. The bill mandates these rights be communicated to patients upon admission or as needed, without altering existing legal standards for care.
