AI Summary

This bill requires individuals applying for a marriage license in Oklahoma to submit a certificate or affidavit from a licensed physician stating that they have undergone a blood test for syphilis and other communicable or infectious diseases within the past thirty days, and that they are either not infected or their infection is not in a communicable stage. The State Board of Health will establish rules to determine which diseases, besides syphilis, will be included in this mandatory testing. This provision aims to protect public health by preventing the transmission of infectious diseases through marriage.
