House Bill No. 1067 establishes new regulations regarding the retention of medical records in Oklahoma. The bill mandates that medical records must be kept for a minimum of ten years after the last patient visit or three years after the patient's death. For records pertaining to newborns or minors, they must be retained for three years past the age of majority. Additionally, health care providers are permitted to use technologies such as microfilming or optical disks to store medical records, allowing them to destroy the original documents while ensuring that the reconstituted records are treated as equivalent to the originals.

The bill also requires health care providers to notify the State Department of Health regarding the disposition of medical records in the event of an office closure, ensuring that the integrity of the information is maintained. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
