The bill amends existing laws regarding the University Hospitals Authority by updating property descriptions and operational requirements. Specifically, it removes references to the Department of Human Services and the Commission for Human Services, transferring jurisdiction over University Hospitals to the University Hospitals Authority. The bill also eliminates obsolete property descriptions and clarifies the responsibilities and assets being transferred. Additionally, it specifies that the University Hospitals will operate as a public Level I Trauma Center, requiring compliance with standards set by the American College of Surgeons and annual certification to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a certificate of need exemption for the University Hospitals, stating that any expansions or changes will not require such a certificate under the University Hospitals Authority Act. It emphasizes the hospitals' role as teaching and training facilities for the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and mandates that they provide care for indigent patients. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
