Bill > HB2696

This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends Oklahoma's Open Records Act to require public schools to release certain educational records to parents, guardians, or adult students in a timely manner, with some requests to be provided free of charge, and specifies that certain information cannot be omitted from these records, providing examples like a student's name, address, and participation in activities as "directory information" which can be released unless a parent or guardian opts out. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of confidential information to include specific cybersecurity-related records, such as risk assessments, vulnerability scans, penetration testing results, incident response plans, and system logs, when their disclosure could reasonably lead to unauthorized access or disruption of information systems.
