AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive "Citizen's Bill of Rights" in Oklahoma that aims to protect individual freedoms across multiple domains. The bill defines citizens as U.S. citizens residing in Oklahoma and restricts government and businesses from implementing various digital and technological systems that could infringe on personal liberties. Specifically, it prohibits forced digital monetary systems that track or control citizen behavior, ensures the right to use gold and silver as legal tender, prevents the use of digital identification as a requirement for services or employment, and bans social credit scoring. The bill also protects citizens from being forced into medical procedures, restricts tracking of personal energy usage, allows personal agriculture and rainwater collection, and places significant limitations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Notably, the bill requires that AI and biotechnology cannot be used to make critical decisions about medical care, employment, insurance, or legal outcomes, and mandates that any worker replaced by AI receive six months' pay and benefits. Violations of the act can result in legal action, with entities found guilty potentially paying legal fees, restitution, and penalties. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the legislature's view that these protections are urgently needed to preserve citizens' rights and freedoms.
