Introduced·2/2/26

Oklahoma SB1836 mandates mental health screenings for patients during routine primary care visits by certain health care providers.

Oklahoma SB1836 requires physicians, osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants to administer an evidence-based, validated mental health screening instrument to patients during or before a routine primary care visit at least once annually. This requirement does not apply to those who do not practice direct client care. The State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners, and the Oklahoma Board of Nursing are directed to promulgate rules and create educational materials to implement these provisions.
