Bill No. 2171, titled the "Oklahoma Uniform Unlawful Restrictions in Land Records Act," establishes a legal framework for property owners in Oklahoma to remove unlawful restrictions from land records. The bill defines key terms such as "amendment," "unlawful restriction," and "owner," and outlines the process for property owners and owners associations to submit amendments to remove such restrictions. Specifically, it allows property owners to record amendments to eliminate restrictions that interfere with the transfer, use, or occupancy of real property based on personal characteristics, in violation of state or federal law. The bill also provides a standardized form for these amendments and details the responsibilities of county clerks in recording them.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that owners associations can amend governing instruments to remove unlawful restrictions without requiring a vote from their members, streamlining the process for addressing these issues. The amendments must be properly executed and recorded, and the county clerk is protected from liability when recording these changes. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and modifies certain provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, ensuring that the new law aligns with existing electronic documentation standards.
