HCR 1007 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Concurrent resolution; rural health care; Stark Law.

HCR 1007 is a Concurrent Resolution from the Oklahoma Legislature concerning rural health care. It states that the federal Physician Self-Referral Law, also known as the Stark Law, impedes medical care in rural parts of the state. The resolution formally requests that the State of Oklahoma be exempt from the Stark Law's provisions and any related administrative rules. This aims to support the rural health care community by removing perceived barriers to delivering essential medical care in these areas.
