The bill amends existing law regarding public records and introduces the Exotic Entertainer Licensing Act. It updates Section 24A.5 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes to clarify exceptions to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, including the confidentiality of personal identifying information related to licenses established under the new act. The bill defines terms related to exotic entertainers and outlines the requirements for obtaining an exotic entertainer license, including age, citizenship, and background checks.

Under the new law, individuals must possess a valid exotic entertainer license to perform in sexually oriented businesses, with strict verification and record-keeping requirements for business owners. Violations of these provisions can result in misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the nature of the offense, with penalties including fines and imprisonment. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
