Senate Bill No. 461 establishes new regulations regarding the management of Brady-Giglio lists by prosecuting agencies in Oklahoma. The bill defines key terms such as "Brady-Giglio list," "officer," and "prosecuting individual," and mandates that prosecuting agencies adopt policies outlining the criteria for placing officers on these lists. It requires that officers receive written notice before being added to a Brady-Giglio list, along with the right to provide input and request reconsideration of their placement. The bill also stipulates the procedures for notifying officers and the time frames for submitting requests for reconsideration.

Additionally, the bill ensures that officers already on a Brady-Giglio list prior to the act's effective date can request reconsideration within a specified timeframe. It emphasizes the ongoing duty of prosecuting agencies to produce Brady-Giglio evidence as required by law and allows for the removal of officers from the list if new information warrants it. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not create a private cause of action against prosecuting individuals for damages related to an officer's inclusion on the list. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
