SB 766 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Office of Homeland Security; creating the Targeted Violence Prevention Act. Emergency.

SB 766, the Targeted Violence Prevention Act, authorizes Oklahoma's Office of Homeland Security to collect and share information about individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism, targeted violence, or organized crime threats with law enforcement and public safety agencies. It requires strict confidentiality for this information, imposing felony penalties - including up to three years in prison or a $50,000 fine - for unauthorized release or use, with exceptions for criminal investigations or authorized disclosures. The bill also makes such information privileged and non-discoverable in most court cases, barring criminal prosecutions directly related to the data. This law directly affects law enforcement agencies receiving the shared information and expands the Office of Homeland Security’s role in coordinating statewide violence prevention efforts under existing homeland security frameworks.
