The bill amends sections of Oklahoma law regarding guardians ad litem and court experts in custody and visitation proceedings. It establishes new requirements for guardians ad litem, including the obligation to include all allegations of domestic violence in their written reports and to maintain confidentiality of case-related information. Additionally, the Oklahoma Bar Association is tasked with developing a standard operating manual for guardians ad litem, which must be reviewed and updated every two years. The bill also modifies the training requirements for court experts, mandating that they complete six hours of domestic violence training prior to appointment and two additional hours annually.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits the waiver of certain disclosures by court expert candidates, which must include prior relationships with parties involved, a complete resume detailing qualifications, and any past disciplinary actions or criminal convictions. It also allows parties to object to the appointment of a proposed court expert within a specified timeframe, ensuring that the court will hold a hearing on such objections. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
