HB 3784 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Medical micropigmentation; perform micropigmentation; independent authority; criteria; effective date.

HB 3784 restricts medical micropigmentation (permanent makeup for medical purposes, such as scar camouflage or breast reconstruction) to be performed only in physician offices. It limits who can perform the procedure to three categories: physicians, registered nurses with a special health commissioner certificate working under physician supervision (after 6,240 supervised hours), and other certified individuals under similar supervision rules. Supervision ends once the required hours are documented with the State Board of Health and prescription medications aren't used on clients. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.

MODERATE

The bill was amended by the House Policy Committee to restructure the text and clarify eligibility criteria for performing medical micropigmentation in Oklahoma. The amendment retains the core requirements for physicians and registered nurses but modifies the criteria for non-licensed individuals, requiring a specific number of supervised hours (6,240) and prohibiting the use of prescription medication on clients. The effective date remains November 1, 2026, and the document was updated to reflect the committee substitute version.

Added a requirement that non-licensed persons must complete 6,240 supervised hours and report them to the State Board of Health before they can perform micropigmentation independently.
