Dental benefit plans; establishing formula for medical loss ratio; exempting certain dental plans; requiring annual rebate for certain plan years by certain plans. Effective date.

Maddy summarySB 1060 establishes minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) standards for dental insurance plans sold in Oklahoma. It requires insurers to spend at least 75% of premium revenue (for individual/small group plans) or 80% (for large group plans) on actual dental care and quality improvements, rather than administrative costs. If these thresholds are not met, insurers must issue annual rebates to enrollees by August 1 of the following year. The law applies to most dental benefit plans but excludes Medicaid and state-sponsored health plans, and mandates annual reporting to the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

Protective orders and fees; clarifying those authorized to seek relief under the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act; effective date.

Maddy summaryHB 2058 clarifies who can seek protective orders under Oklahoma's Protection from Domestic Abuse Act. It expands eligibility to include victims of specific crimes (like rape, forcible sodomy, or murder) regardless of their relationship to the alleged abuser, and removes the prior requirement for victims to file a police complaint before seeking a protective order. The bill also prohibits charging victims filing for protective orders any fees (filing, service, or attorney costs), and allows courts to waive costs for those unable to pay. Additionally, it permits courts to include animal custody provisions in protective orders and prohibits requiring victims to pursue other legal actions (like divorce) first.
