Senate Bill No. 761, also known as the Lori Brand Act, establishes a comprehensive set of rights for patients seeking treatment in Oklahoma, as well as responsibilities for both patients and their guardians. The bill outlines 24 specific rights for patients, including the right to respectful care, informed consent, privacy, and access to medical records. It also emphasizes the importance of effective communication tailored to the patient's needs, the right to participate in care decisions, and the right to be informed about hospital policies and procedures. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for minor patients, ensuring they receive appropriate care and support while recognizing their unique needs.

The legislation also delineates responsibilities for patients and their guardians, such as providing accurate health information, reporting changes in condition, and participating in discharge planning. Parents and legal guardians of minor patients are tasked with remaining involved in their child's care and decision-making processes. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the overall quality of care and patient experience within the healthcare system in Oklahoma.
