Senate Bill No. 547 amends Section 2602 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes to expand the circumstances under which minors can consent to health services without parental approval. The bill specifies that minors who are married, emancipated, separated from their parents without support, pregnant, or suffering from certain health conditions, such as reportable communicable diseases or substance abuse, can consent to treatment. Additionally, it allows for self-consent in cases of emergency services that could endanger the minor's health or life, and for victims of sexual assault seeking forensic medical examinations. The bill also includes provisions that protect the confidentiality of the minor's health information and outlines the conditions under which parents or guardians can access medical records.

The legislation introduces new language that clarifies the rights of minors regarding consent and confidentiality, including the stipulation that health professionals are not liable for providing services based on a minor's misrepresentation of their ability to consent. It also establishes that parents or guardians have the right to access a minor's medical records, with certain exceptions, such as when the parent is under investigation for a crime against the minor. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
