Oklahoma HB1748 regulates the disclosure of vital statistics records, including birth and death certificates, and sets fees for electronic.

Oklahoma HB1748 amends the state's vital statistics records law to restrict the disclosure of birth and death certificates to specific parties, such as the subject of the record, parents, or those with court orders. It allows the Department of Health to charge up to $4 for electronic verifications, with potential additional fees from contractors. The bill also specifies that death certificates become public records 50 years after the death, and birth records are indexed online.
