Bill No. 1630 establishes a regulatory framework for short-term emergency and nonemergency hybrid medical facilities in Oklahoma, requiring these facilities to obtain a separate license to operate. The bill defines key terms such as "emergency care," "nonemergency care," and "facility," and prohibits the transfer or assignment of licenses, classifying violations as misdemeanors with set penalties for noncompliance. Licensing applications must demonstrate that facilities are staffed by board-certified emergency room physicians and meet specific health and safety standards. The Oklahoma Commissioner of Health is responsible for adopting rules and setting fees related to the licensing process, while certain facilities, like licensed hospitals and nursing homes, are exempt from these requirements.

The bill also introduces new procedures for handling violations identified by the Oklahoma Department of Health, requiring written notification to individuals regarding alleged violations and recommended penalties. Individuals have 20 calendar days to accept the penalty or request a hearing, with the Commissioner of Health overseeing the approval of penalties. Additionally, the legislation creates a "Short-term Emergency and Nonemergency Hybrid Medical Facility Licensing Fund" in the State Treasury to support the Department's regulatory activities, ensuring ongoing resources for enforcement. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
