Let your voices be heard!
Support Oklahoma SB 1725
WITH AMENDMENTS
Protect access to Oklahoma’s indigenous healers, herbalists, homeopaths, ayurvedic practitioners, and other traditional healers.
On February 5, 2024, SB 1725 was introduced and referred to the Health and Human Services Committee. Click here to read the Bill.
As written, SB 1725 allows unlicensed practitioners of indigenous and traditional healing therapies safe harbor from charges of practicing medicine without a license under certain conditions.
Constitutionally, licensing is only required for occupations that present an imminent and significant risk of harm to the public. Protection for unlicensed complementary and alternative practitioners whose practices do not rise to the level of harm requiring licensure is crucial! Amendments have been drafted by the bill sponsors for SB 1725 which will expand protection for unlicensed complementary and alternative healers and protect public access to these practitioners.

If a 2nd Reading is approved by the Committee Chair and Vice Chair, this bill will be heard Thursday, March 7. This second reading must be approved by Wednesday, March 6. Details are posted on the Oklahoma Senate website 24 hours in advance. Click here for details 24 hours in advance.
