SB 570 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Hospitals; imposing certain duties on hospital in cases of fetal death or miscarriage; requiring State Department of Health to publish certain form. Effective date.

SB 570 requires Oklahoma hospitals to provide patients experiencing fetal death or miscarriage with a form explaining how to request official certificates (fetal death or stillbirth) before discharge. The form, created by the State Department of Health and published online, details the process for obtaining these certificates under existing Oklahoma law and includes contact information for vital records. This bill directly affects patients who experience pregnancy loss and hospitals treating them, ensuring clear access to certificate procedures without changing medical care or adding new requirements.
