Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-744.2: Notice – Waiting period
Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 63
No abortion shall be performed or induced upon an unemancipated
minor or upon a female for whom a guardian or conservator has been
appointed pursuant to the Oklahoma Guardianship and Conservatorship
Act because of a finding of incompetency, until at least forty-eight
(48) hours after written notice of the pending abortion has been
delivered in the manner specified in Sections 7 through 9 of this
act to one of the parents of the minor upon whom the abortion is
contemplated or to the guardian or conservator of the female upon
whom the abortion is contemplated.
1. The notice shall be addressed to the parent at the usual
place of abode of the parent and delivered personally to the parent
by the physician or an agent.
2. In lieu of the delivery required by paragraph 1 of this
section, notice shall be made by certified mail addressed to the
parent at the usual place of abode of the parent with return receipt
requested and restricted delivery to the addressee, which means a
postal employee can deliver the mail only to the authorized
addressee. Time of delivery shall be deemed to occur at noon on the
third day on which regular mail delivery takes place, subsequent to
mailing. The information concerning the address of the parent shall
be that which a reasonable and prudent person, under similar
circumstances, would have relied upon as sufficient evidence that
the parent resides at that address.
