The bill establishes an Address Confidentiality Program in Oklahoma aimed at protecting the addresses of medical care providers who are victims of crimes. It defines key terms such as "address," "crime against a medical care provider," and "medical care provider," and allows these individuals to apply for the program through the Attorney General. The application process requires a sworn statement of fear for safety, a designated address for confidentiality, and contact information. The Attorney General is responsible for approving applications, maintaining confidentiality of records, and may revoke approvals under certain circumstances, such as false information or changes in address.
Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Attorney General, including the certification of program participants for four years, the forwarding of mail, and the conditions under which certification may be canceled. It also designates hospitals and nonprofit agencies as entities to assist applicants, with trained volunteers serving as application assistants. The bill emphasizes the confidentiality of participants' addresses and restricts disclosure of their information, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access it under specific legal circumstances. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
