Senate Bill No. 864 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. The bill prohibits certain agreements that would allow offenders to avoid registration, mandates that individuals required to register cannot have contact with minors, and specifies that the sealing of criminal records does not exempt individuals from registration requirements. Additionally, it updates statutory language and references throughout the section.

Key changes include the removal of the phrase "the State of Oklahoma" and its replacement with "this state," as well as the substitution of "pornography" with "sexual abuse" in the context of offenses. The bill also introduces new provisions that explicitly prohibit registered sex offenders from having contact with individuals under eighteen years of age, including their own children. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
