Child abduction prevention; creating the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act; establishing requirements and procedures for abduction prevention orders. Effective date.

SB 79 creates Oklahoma's "Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act" to help courts prevent child abduction in custody cases. It allows courts to issue temporary orders requiring specific safety measures (like restricting travel documents) when a child faces a credible risk of abduction, directly affecting children under 18 and parents/guardians in custody disputes. Key provisions include requiring courts to assess abduction risk factors, authorizing emergency orders without prior notice to prevent imminent abduction, and mandating hearings within a specific timeframe. The law standardizes procedures across Oklahoma courts, specifying what must be included in orders and how law enforcement can act under court authorization. These prevention orders remain in effect for a defined period, with courts able to modify or extend them as needed.
