This bill amends Section 1-503 of the Oklahoma Public Health Code to update the language and requirements regarding the reporting of diseases. It changes the title from "Board" to "Commissioner" of Health and specifies that the reporting system applies to health care providers and clinical laboratories. Additionally, the language has been made gender-neutral, replacing terms like "his" with "his or her." The bill also establishes that failure to report diseases as mandated will be considered a misdemeanor.

A significant addition to the reporting requirements is the inclusion of alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) as a reportable condition. The Commissioner of Health is tasked with adding AGS to the list of reportable diseases, which must be reported by health care providers or clinical laboratories according to the rules set forth by the Commissioner. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
