What changed
Oklahoma SB1644 adds alpha-gal disease (alpha-gal syndrome) to the state's list of reportable conditions, creating a new mandatory reporting obligation for healthcare providers, laboratories, and other reporting entities under state public health law. The bill passed both chambers and was engrossed on March 17, 2026.
Healthcare providers and public health authorities in Oklahoma must now treat alpha-gal syndrome as a notifiable condition subject to state reporting timelines and procedures. Failure to comply with reportable disease requirements may result in administrative penalties under Oklahoma's public health statutes. Affected entities should update clinical documentation systems, staff training, and coordination procedures with the Oklahoma State Department of Health to ensure timely compliance.

- Update internal systems and staff training to include alpha-gal disease as a mandatory reportable condition
