Bill > SB646

This bill updates the Oklahoma Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2023, expanding its scope to include elected federal officials and creating the Oklahoma Federal Official and Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2025. The bill modifies definitions of key terms like "at-risk individual" to now include current elected federal officials, and broadens the definition of "covered information" to protect personal details such as home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, vehicle registration information, and family details. State agencies are now required to keep this covered information private, removing it from public content within 72 hours of receiving a written request from an at-risk individual. The bill also updates provisions for sharing confidential information, allowing access only with a signed release, a court order, or under specific confidentiality agreements. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Administrative Director of the Courts submit a biennial report to the Legislature detailing expenses related to protecting covered information, its sources, and any new types of personal data used to identify federal officials or judges who have received threats. The legislation will become effective on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to emphasize its immediate importance for public safety.
