Sex Offenders Registration Act; modifying provisions related to certain employment; creating misdemeanor offense. Effective date.

SB 1511 modifies Oklahoma's Sex Offenders Registration Act to restrict employment for registered offenders in child-serving roles. It prohibits registered sex offenders from working with children or on school premises, requires employers to conduct annual registry checks of staff working with children, and mandates that employees sign declarations confirming they are not required to register. Employers and individual offenders must post clear signage if they work in settings where children are present, with violations carrying misdemeanor penalties of up to $1,000 fines. The bill also bans registered offenders from law enforcement, criminal investigation, or security roles requiring CLEET certification. These provisions apply to all businesses, schools, and individuals providing services where children are reasonably expected to be present.
