Maddy summarySB 27 exempts specific healthcare practitioners from Oklahoma's electronic prescription requirement for controlled substances. It directly affects veterinarians, practitioners in hospitals/nursing facilities/hospice programs, those serving medically underserved areas (as defined by federal standards), and practitioners facing temporary technology issues - provided they document exceptions in patient records.
