SB1652

Oklahoma SB1652 expands medicolegal investigation requirements for sudden unexplained infant deaths, sudden death in the young, and sudden arrhythmic.

Oklahoma SB1652 amends existing statutes to broaden the scope of medicolegal investigations, particularly for sudden unexplained infant deaths (SUID), sudden death in the young (SDY), and sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS). The bill mandates that medical examiners conduct investigations within 48 hours of a death, document any immunizations or emergency countermeasures administered within 90 days prior to death, and report cases to the SUID and SDY Case Registry. It also requires the State Department of Health to retain copies of completed SUIDI reporting forms for data compilation.
