Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-568: Licensure, accreditation, certification not contingent

upon acceptance of abortion as treatment option.

A. Nothing in the Genetic Counseling Licensure Act may be

construed to require any genetic counselor or other person to

mention, discuss, suggest, propose, recommend, or refer for,

abortion, or to agree or indicate a willingness to do so, nor shall

licensing of any genetic counselor be contingent upon acceptance of

abortion as a treatment option for any genetic or other prenatal

disease, anomaly, or disability.

B. If the State Board of Health determines that accreditation

of genetic counseling training programs by the American Board of

Genetic Counseling or of medical genetics training programs by the

American Board of Medical Genetics is dependent on criteria, or

applied in a manner, incompatible with the provisions of subsection

A of this section, it shall establish or recognize and apply

criteria for accreditation of alternative genetic counseling

training programs or medical genetics training programs compatible

with the provisions of subsection A of this section and any genetic

counseling training programs or medical genetics training programs

accredited thereunder shall be deemed accredited for the purposes of

paragraph 3 of subsection A of Section 4 of this act.

C. If the State Board of Health determines that the examination

required for certification as a genetic counselor by the American

Board of Genetic Counseling or the American Board of Medical

Genetics or as a medical geneticist by the American Board of Medical

Genetics is incompatible with the provisions of subsection A of this

section, it shall establish or recognize an alternative examination

compatible with the provisions of that subsection and an individual

who passes such an examination shall be deemed to meet the relevant

requirements of paragraph 4 of subsection A of Section 4 of this

act.

D. The State Board of Health shall by rule waive such other

provisions of the Genetic Counseling Licensure Act and provide for

appropriate substitute requirements as it determines necessary to

ensure compliance with subsection A of this section.

E. There shall be no cause of action against any person for

failure to mention, discuss, suggest, propose, recommend, or refer

for, abortion, unless the abortion is necessary to prevent the death

of the mother.

F. This section shall not be severable from the Genetic

Counseling Licensure Act.
