Concurrent resolution; rural health care; Stark Law.
HCR 1007 is a concurrent resolution requesting Oklahoma be exempt from the federal Stark Law (42 U.S.C. § 1395nn), which restricts physician self-referrals to facilities where they have financial interests. The resolution states this federal rule impedes rural healthcare access in Oklahoma and seeks exemption for rural health care providers and facilities from Stark Law requirements. It specifically asks for exemption from both the law itself and any related federal administrative rules affecting rural medical care delivery. This is a symbolic legislative request to the federal government, not a change to Oklahoma law, and does not alter current Stark Law enforcement.
