The bill, titled the "Oklahoma Uniform Unlawful Restrictions in Land Records Act," establishes a legal framework for property owners in Oklahoma to amend land records by removing unlawful restrictions. It defines key terms such as "amendment," "unlawful restriction," and "owner," and outlines the process for both individual property owners and owners associations to submit amendments to remove such restrictions. The bill specifies that amendments must be recorded with the county clerk and provides a standard form for property owners to use when filing these amendments. Additionally, it clarifies that the removal of an unlawful restriction does not affect the validity of other lawful restrictions.
The bill also addresses the responsibilities and liabilities of county clerks in recording these amendments, stating that they will not be held liable for their actions under this act. Furthermore, it modifies certain provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, ensuring that the new law aligns with existing federal regulations. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
