SB 570 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 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 hospitals in Oklahoma 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 must detail the process for obtaining these certificates under existing law and include contact information for the Vital Records Division. The State Department of Health must develop and publish this form on its website. This bill directly affects hospitals and patients in these situations by standardizing information access, without changing certificate requirements or legal processes.
