Health care; granting certain rights and protections to parents and legal guardians; modifying conditions for self-consent of minors. Effective date.

SB 958 requires health professionals to allow parents or legal guardians to be present during minors' medical appointments and provide them copies of medical records (with an exception for suspected child abuse cases). It modifies Oklahoma's physician-patient privilege law (12 O.S. 2503) to clarify that minors under 18 cannot block parental access to their health information. The bill also updates counselor confidentiality rules (59 O.S. 1910) to require parental consent for minors under 18 to access certain services. This applies to all health services provided to minors under 18 in Oklahoma, directly affecting parents/guardians and healthcare providers.
