Senate Bill No. 547 amends existing Oklahoma law regarding minors' ability to consent to health services. The bill allows minors who are married, emancipated, or separated from their parents and not supported by them to consent to medical services. It also expands the categories of minors who can self-consent to include those who are pregnant, have reportable communicable diseases, or are victims of sexual assault. Additionally, the bill stipulates that health professionals must provide counseling to minors receiving such services and protects the confidentiality of the minor's health information, prohibiting disclosure to parents or guardians without the minor's consent, except in specific circumstances.

The bill introduces new provisions regarding the access of parents or legal guardians to a minor's medical records, stating that they have the right to review these records unless certain exceptions apply, such as when the parent is under investigation for a crime against the minor. It also clarifies that health professionals will not incur liability for providing services to minors who misrepresent their ability to consent, except in cases of negligence or intentional harm. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
