Oklahoma Open Records Act; modifying definition. Effective date.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Oklahoma Open Records Act to clarify and update the legal definitions of "record" and "public body." It explicitly includes various licensure documents, such as marriage licenses and bail bondsman registrations, in the category of public records. At the same time, the legislation specifies several types of information that remain exempt from public disclosure, including personal contact details on license applications, certain financial data, and specific records related to toll collection and driver privacy. The changes aim to ensure that government transparency laws apply consistently to new digital formats and specific licensing scenarios while protecting sensitive personal information.
