Episode 36
Last year, on November 1, 2021, the new Oklahoma Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act took effect, inadvertently repealing the Oklahoma statutory provisions that authorized executing a durable power of attorney for the purpose of making healthcare decisions. Six months later, those provisions have been reinstated through the creation of the Oklahoma Health Care Agent Act. Healthcare Practice Group member Maggie K. Martin explains the key elements of the Act related to patients and providers alike, and discusses the role she played in helping to draft the bill’s language.
