SB 2182: Civil remedies; creating the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act. Effective date.

SB 2182 creates a civil cause of action for Oklahomans whose intimate images (showing uncovered genitals, pubic area, anus, female nipples, or sexual conduct) are shared without consent. It allows victims to sue for damages - up to $10,000 per violation - or emotional distress if the disclosure was intentional and the victim had a reasonable expectation of privacy. The law includes exceptions for disclosures in law enforcement, medical treatment, or public interest, but bars these if the disclosure was for sexual gratification, humiliation, or profit. It also protects victims’ privacy by permitting courts to redact identifying information in legal documents.

HB 3431: Foreign government adversaries; alien and foreign government adversary ownership; foreign government adversary; mineral ownership; effective date.

HB 3431 restricts ownership of rare earth mineral rights in Oklahoma by foreign governments designated as adversaries. The bill amends existing law to specifically replace "oil" with "rare earth minerals" in ownership restrictions, focusing on critical minerals vital for technology and defense. It directly affects foreign entities classified as adversaries under state law, preventing them from holding mineral rights for rare earth resources. The key mechanism establishes new ownership limitations for these minerals, though the bill does not define which foreign governments qualify as "adversaries." The amendment clarifies the bill's scope to rare earth minerals, excluding oil and other resources.

These rules apply to any AI chatbot service operating in Oklahoma, with enforcement by the Attorney General.
