Bill > HB3884

This bill establishes the "Providers' Bill of Rights Act of 2026" in Oklahoma, which will require assisted living facilities to display these rights prominently. The bill defines these rights for providers within the context of the Continuum of Care Act, which governs how various care services are integrated. Key provisions include the right for providers to be treated with dignity and respect, to terminate resident contracts for just cause with a 30-day written notice, or immediately if a resident's health or safety is at risk. Providers also gain the right to refuse services beyond what is contracted, to obtain necessary consumer information for appropriate placement while maintaining confidentiality, and to refuse inappropriate referrals. Furthermore, providers have the right to maintain a drug and weapon-free environment, to be informed about a resident's history of self-abuse, violence, alcoholism, or drug abuse, and to know if a resident is using a sitter or other personal service providers in their apartment. The bill also clarifies that providers can refuse to share information with third-party providers and will become effective on November 1, 2026.
