Bill > HB4144

This bill amends the Oklahoma Open Records Act to modify what information law enforcement agencies must disclose to the public, specifically concerning incidents that do not result in an arrest, by requiring the disclosure of the offense or reason for response, date, time, general location, officer involved, and a summary of what occurred, while also detailing extensive provisions for redacting or obscuring portions of audio and video recordings from body cameras and vehicle cameras, such as those depicting death, nudity, minors, severe violence, personal medical information, or information that could compromise ongoing investigations, with specific timelines and court review processes for withholding such recordings, and also clarifies confidentiality rules for certain records held by the Department of Corrections and the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET), and the Department of Public Safety, with an effective date of November 1, 2026.
