Summary

The bill revises key terms in Oklahoma’s guardianship statutes, defining "general guardianship," "gravely disabled," "inpatient mental health treatment," and "ward."

Finally, it clarifies that receiving mental‑health evaluation or treatment does not automatically make a person incompetent.
