The bill amends Section 40.3A of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the reporting requirements for incidents of rape, sodomy, or sexual assault. It broadens the exceptions to the reporting requirements for healthcare professionals, allowing them not to report incidents if the victim is over the age of eighteen and is not an incapacitated adult, or if the incident involves minors without evidence of coercion, exploitation, threat, or intimidation. This change aims to provide more discretion to healthcare providers in handling sensitive cases involving minors.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for healthcare professionals to report incidents if requested by the victim and mandates that they inform the victim of their right to have a report made. It also emphasizes the need for thorough documentation of the incident and injuries, as well as referrals to victim services programs. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2026.
