Bill > SB1496

This bill modifies provisions related to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) by clarifying confidentiality rules for investigations, allowing the disclosure of statistical data that doesn't include personal information, and enabling the Director to digitally store and dispose of certain records after scanning them, provided the digital copies are accurate and accessible. It also permits the Director to accept various forms of money, including grants from federal and state agencies, to be deposited into the OSBI Revolving Fund, and updates procedures for disposing of evidentiary property, including allowing the Director to refuse to sell property if the highest bid is less than fifty percent of its fair market value. Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain disclosures of confidential information are permissible for specialized services, training, educational purposes, or to inform crime victims and their families about investigation statuses, and it updates statutory language and references, with an effective date of November 1, 2026.
