AI Summary
This bill mandates that individuals convicted of loitering, which involves clandestinely watching or using recording equipment to view someone in a place where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy without their consent, must register as sex offenders under Oklahoma's Sex Offenders Registration Act. The Act, which requires individuals convicted of certain sex offenses or similar crimes in other jurisdictions to register, will now include loitering offenses as a registerable offense. Additionally, the bill outlines specific conditions under which individuals convicted of loitering can petition to be removed from the sex offender registry after a period of compliance and no further offenses, while also clarifying that those convicted twice for loitering are ineligible for such removal. This legislation is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
