This bill establishes a new legal provision that prohibits elected or appointed public officials in Oklahoma from being required or allowed to sign nondisclosure agreements related to their official duties. Specifically, it states that no public official shall enter into such agreements concerning matters that involve their performance of duties. However, the bill clarifies that this restriction does not apply to nondisclosure agreements related to personal matters or litigation that do not pertain to the official's responsibilities in their public office.

The new law will be codified as Section 401 of Title 51 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability among public officials by ensuring that they cannot be bound by nondisclosure agreements that could potentially obscure their actions and decisions in office.
