House Bill No. 1600, also known as the "Lori Brand Act," aims to establish a comprehensive list of rights for patients seeking treatment in Oklahoma, as well as outlining specific responsibilities for both patients and their guardians. The bill introduces new legal language that codifies patient rights, including the right to respectful care, informed consent, participation in care decisions, and confidentiality of medical records. It also emphasizes the rights of minor patients, ensuring they receive appropriate treatment and support tailored to their developmental needs. Additionally, the bill mandates that parents and legal guardians of minor patients have responsibilities to remain involved in their child's care and decision-making processes.

The legislation also specifies the responsibilities of patients, such as providing accurate health information, reporting changes in their condition, and participating in their care and discharge planning. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the quality of care and patient experience within the healthcare system in Oklahoma.
