This bill establishes a new legal framework in Oklahoma regarding parental access to the medical records of their minor children. It defines key terms such as "electronic patient portal," "health care provider," "minor child," and "parent." The bill mandates that parents have full access to their child's medical records, including laboratory results, prescriptions, and billing information, regardless of whether these records are in paper form or accessed through an electronic portal. It prohibits health care providers from requiring minors to create independent accounts that would limit parental access and ensures that parents retain administrative access to any accounts created for their children.

However, the bill also outlines specific exceptions where parental access may be restricted, such as in cases of minor-consent services (e.g., treatment for sexually transmitted infections, substance abuse, or pregnancy-related care), court orders, or situations where disclosure could pose a risk of harm to the minor. Health care providers are required to grant access within five business days of a request and cannot charge fees for enabling or maintaining portal access. Non-compliance with these provisions is classified as an unfair or deceptive act under the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act and may result in reporting to professional licensing boards. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
