Title 63. Public Health and Safety
§63-3102.1. Advance directives registry database.
A. The State Department of Health shall establish and maintain an advance directives registry which shall be accessible through a website maintained by the Department. The registry shall be used to store advance directives pursuant to the Oklahoma Advance Directive Act that are filed with the registry by or with the authorization of those executing the advance directives.
B. The registry shall be maintained in a secure database that is designed to provide access to each advance directive filed in the database by the person who executed the advance directive, those named as agents in the advance directive, any person related within the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity to the person who executed the advance directive, or a health care provider caring for the person who executed the advance directive.
C. 1. The State Board of Health shall promulgate rules as necessary to implement the creation and maintenance of the advance directives registry and to regulate access to the registry.
2. The rules shall establish a fee for the initial lodging of an advance directive in the advance directives registry database calculated to be adequate in the aggregate to cover the cost of establishing and administering the advance directives registry database, the Statutory Advance Directive Form portion of the website containing the advance directive forms under Section 2 of this act, and the disclosure statement under Section 3 of this act. No fee shall be charged for the alteration or removal of an advance directive from the advance directives registry database. The Board is authorized to increase or decrease the fee as necessary to ensure that the revenue from it is adequate to cover the cost for purposes in accordance with this paragraph, but does not exceed that cost, together with an appropriate reserve fund to cover errors in estimation.
3. The Board shall promulgate the initial rules no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of this act.
