The proposed bill establishes a "Providers' Bill of Rights Act of 2026" aimed at enhancing the rights of providers in assisted living facilities in Oklahoma. It mandates that each facility prominently display this bill of rights, which outlines specific rights for providers, including the right to be treated with dignity, the ability to terminate contracts under certain conditions, and the right to present grievances without fear of retaliation. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe environment and ensuring that providers are informed about residents' histories that may affect care.

The bill also includes provisions that allow providers to refuse services outside of their contractual obligations and to access relevant consumer information while maintaining confidentiality. It is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. The new legal language introduced in the bill is aimed at codifying these rights and ensuring that they are recognized and upheld within the framework of the Continuum of Care Act.
