This bill mandates that all assisted living centers in Oklahoma must prominently display a bill of rights for residents and staff. The bill outlines specific rights that must be included, such as the right to be treated with dignity, the ability to terminate a resident's contract under certain conditions, and the right to present grievances without fear of retaliation. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe environment free from weapons and drugs, and it requires centers to inform staff about residents' histories that may affect their care.

The new legal language will be codified as Section 1-896 of Title 63 in the Oklahoma Statutes, and the bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. This legislation aims to enhance the rights and protections of both residents and staff within assisted living facilities, ensuring a more respectful and safe living environment.
