Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-704: Licenses - Fees - Duration - Posting

A. 1. The application by any person for a license to operate a

hospital within the meaning of Section 1-701 et seq. of this title

shall be accompanied by a fee to be determined by the number of beds

available for patients, to be established by the State Commissioner

of Health, but not to exceed Ten Dollars ($10.00) for each bed

included in the maximum bed capacity at such facility.

2. For the purpose of determining the fee, the total number of

beds shall include cribs and bassinets.

B. No such fee shall be refunded unless licensure is refused.

All licenses shall be for a period of twelve (12) months from the

date of issue. Provided that licenses may be issued for a period of

more than twelve (12) months, but not more than twenty-four (24)

months, for the license period immediately following the enactment

of this provision in order to permit an equitable distribution of

license expiration dates to all months of the year.

C. Fees for such extended licensure period shall be prorated

according to the total months to be licensed, with such amounts to

be calculated to the nearest dollar.

D. All licenses:

1. Shall be on a form prescribed by the Commissioner and shall

not be transferable or assignable;

2. Shall be issued only for the premises named in the

application;

3. Shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed

premises; and

4. May be renewed for twelve-month periods upon application,

investigation and payment of license fee, as in the case of

procurement of an original license.

E. The Commissioner shall review current law and rules

promulgated by the Commissioner that mandate that a hospital post a

notice, poster or sign in public spaces. The purpose of this review

shall be to coordinate the placement, format and language required

in mandatory signage. All signage shall be reviewed for the

following:

1. Duplication of information;

2. Reduce the potential for confusion to patients, families of

patients and others; and

3. Administrative burden of compliance.
