An Act relating to state government; creating the Transparency and Accountability Platform (TAP) Act; providing definitions; establishing TAP platform to support a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Integrity Overlay and a Corrections Transparency Overlay; authorizing the Department of Human Services (Department) and Department of Corrections (DOC) to procure and deploy the TAP platform in coordination with the Office of Management and Enterprise Services; clarifying the TAP platform shall be a thin overlay and not require replacement of core eligibility, supervision, or payment systems; identifying the purposes for which the Department shall implement the TAP platform; directing the Department to implement an initial pilot program; authorizing the Department to expand the SNAP Integrity Overlay statewide after completion and review of pilot program; clarifying participation in TAP-enabled processes shall be consistent with federal SNAP eligibility; identifying the purposes for which the DOC shall implement the TAP platform; directing the DOC to implement an initial pilot program; authorizing Department to expand the Corrections Transparency Overlay statewide after completion and review of pilot program; directing biometric identifiers and templates to remain on participant's or supervised individual's device; clarifying the TAP platform may receive only non- biometric cryptographic assertions; allowing the Department and DOC to receive and maintain non- biometric data; limiting uses and retention of collected data; directing the Department and DOC to provide clear, plain language notices; granting the Department and DOC rulemaking authority; granting the Office of Management and Enterprise Services certain technical and security standard setting authority; directing the Department and DOC to submit quarterly written reports during pilot phase; providing required report contents; requiring reports be made available to the public; requiring the TAP platform be interoperable with certain programs of the Department and DOC; clarifying ownership of data; clarifying that the Department and DOC shall be responsible for oversight; prohibiting participants and supervised individuals from being sanctioned, denied benefits, or found in violation solely because of a technical failure of the TAP platform; directing for inclusion of system failures in reports; making appropriations for each program; identifying funding source; providing purpose of funds; providing for noncodification; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill establishes the Transparency and Accountability Platform (TAP) Act, creating a digital framework called the TAP platform to enhance oversight and integrity for state programs. The TAP platform will function as a "thin overlay," meaning it will integrate with existing systems without requiring their replacement, and will utilize decentralized, on-device biometric authentication where biometric data (like fingerprints or facial scans) stays on the user's device and only a secure confirmation of success or failure is sent. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) will use the TAP platform for a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Integrity Overlay to verify participant identities, track program-related events with geolocation and timestamps to combat fraud, and provide data for oversight. Similarly, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) will implement a Corrections Transparency Overlay to verify the identity of supervised individuals during check-ins and program attendance, associate these events with location data, and provide compliance dashboards for officers. Both agencies will conduct pilot programs before potentially expanding statewide, and they are authorized to collect and retain non-biometric data for specific program purposes, with strict limitations on its use and retention, and must provide clear notices to participants and supervised individuals about data collection and usage. The bill also includes provisions for rulemaking authority, technical standards, public reporting of pilot program results, data ownership, and ensures that individuals will not be penalized solely due to technical failures of the TAP platform, with appropriations made for the development and implementation of these overlays.
