The proposed bill establishes new legal protections for medical practitioners, health care institutions, and health care payors in Oklahoma, particularly concerning their rights to refuse participation in health care services that conflict with their ethical, moral, or religious beliefs, referred to as "conscience." It defines key terms such as "discrimination," "health care institution," and "health care payor," and prohibits adverse actions against these entities for exercising their conscience. The bill also outlines the rights of medical practitioners to refuse participation in services that violate their conscience without facing discrimination or liability, and it mandates that health care institutions may require written documentation of such refusals.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect whistleblowers who report violations of the act, ensuring they cannot be discriminated against for disclosing information related to potential violations. It establishes that professional licensing boards cannot sanction medical practitioners for protected speech unless it can be proven that such speech directly caused physical harm. The bill also prohibits unlawful interference with the rights established under this act and provides remedies for those harmed by such interference. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and is intended to supplement existing rights under the Freedom of Conscience Act.
