The bill amends Section 1-860.4 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the requirements and conditions for hospices. Key updates include the specification that hospices must coordinate their services with the patient's primary physician and existing community services, while ensuring that direct patient care is maintained by the hospice team. The bill introduces a new definition for "solicit" and establishes penalties for hospices or their agents who engage in patient solicitation practices, including fines ranging from $500 to $2,000. Additionally, it clarifies that any contracts with healthcare providers must ensure that the hospice retains responsibility for planning and coordinating services.

Other provisions in the bill emphasize the need for a bereavement program, a quality assurance program, and the requirement for a licensed administrator to manage the hospice. The bill also mandates that hospices maintain up-to-date records of services provided and ensures the confidentiality of patient information. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
