This bill amends several sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to public health, specifically concerning the Oklahoma Hospital Advisory Council. The bill eliminates the Oklahoma Hospital Advisory Council entirely, removing references to it from various sections, including 63 O.S. 2021, Sections 1-270, 1-705, and 1-707. In its place, the State Commissioner of Health is given the authority to promulgate rules and standards for hospitals without the need for advisory input from the now-defunct council. The bill also updates statutory language, such as changing "Board" to "Commissioner" in relevant sections.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for the State Department of Health to foster a coordinated system of care for stroke, emphasizing evidence-based treatment and collaboration with professional organizations. It also outlines the responsibilities of the State Commissioner of Health regarding hospital inspections and the establishment of rules for hospital operations, ensuring that hospitals are held to appropriate standards for patient care. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
