Bill > SB1231

This bill defines "digital ID" as an electronic representation of personal identifying information stored on a mobile device or cloud platform, explicitly distinguishing it from a digitized identification card. The bill establishes two key protections: first, no government agency, department, or political subdivision can deny a person access to its services or buildings solely because they do not possess or use a digital ID, and second, no private business in the state can deny services to a person based on their lack of a digital ID. By creating these protections, the bill aims to prevent discrimination against individuals who do not use digital identification technologies. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, highlighting the perceived urgency of protecting individuals' access to services in an increasingly digital world. The legislation is intended to be codified as a new section of Oklahoma Statutes in Title 75A, Section 110.
