The proposed bill enacts the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act, which aims to create a structured approach to preventing child abduction during custody disputes. It defines essential terms such as "abduction," "child," and "court," and emphasizes the need for cooperation among courts in custody cases. The bill empowers courts to implement abduction prevention measures based on credible evidence of risk, allowing parties to file petitions that include risk factors and relevant background information. It also provides for the issuance of ex parte warrants to take physical custody of a child when there is an imminent risk of wrongful removal, detailing the requirements for such warrants and ensuring a hearing occurs within a specified timeframe.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for child custody and abduction prevention in Oklahoma, including safe interim placements for children and the court's ability to check databases for histories of domestic violence or child abuse before issuing warrants. It allows warrants to be enforceable statewide and permits law enforcement to enter private property under exigent circumstances. The bill also stipulates that if a petitioner is found to have sought a warrant in bad faith, the court may award attorney fees to the respondent. Abduction prevention orders will remain in effect until specific conditions are met, and the legislation aims for uniform application across states, with an effective date of November 1, 2025.
