The bill amends the Sex Offenders Registration Act in Oklahoma, specifically updating Section 582 to clarify the applicability of the Act to individuals residing, working, or attending school in the state. It removes the phrase "the State of Oklahoma" and replaces it with "this state" for consistency. The bill also introduces new provisions that prohibit individuals required to register as sex offenders from entering into plea agreements that would allow them to forgo registration. Additionally, it establishes that sealing a criminal record does not exempt an individual from the registration requirement.

Furthermore, the bill explicitly prohibits any person required to register under the Act from having contact with minors, including their own children. It also updates statutory language and references throughout the text. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
