Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-740.2A: Evaluation and counseling session

A. Prior to the court hearing for judicial waiver pursuant to

Section 1-740.3 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the court may

require the pregnant unemancipated minor to participate in an

evaluation and counseling session with a mental health professional

from the State Department of Health. Such evaluation shall be

confidential and scheduled expeditiously.

B. Such evaluation and counseling session shall be for the

purpose of developing trustworthy and reliable expert opinion

concerning the pregnant unemancipated minor's sufficiency of

knowledge, insight, judgment, and maturity with regard to her

abortion decision in order to aid the court in its decision and to

make the resources of the state available to the court for this

purpose. Persons conducting such sessions may employ the

information and printed materials referred to in Sections 1-738.2

and 1-738.3 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes in examining how

well the pregnant unemancipated minor is informed about pregnancy,

fetal development, abortion risks and consequences, and abortion

alternatives, and should also endeavor to verify that the pregnant

unemancipated minor is seeking an abortion of her own free will and

is not acting under coercion, intimidation, threats, abuse, undue

pressure, or extortion by any other persons.

C. The results of such evaluation and counseling shall be

reported to the court by the most expeditious means, commensurate

with security and confidentiality, to assure receipt by the court

prior to a hearing on the petition of the pregnant unemancipated

minor.
