This bill establishes a new requirement for law enforcement officers in Oklahoma regarding the reporting of offenses that could lead to an individual being registered as a sex offender. Specifically, it mandates that officers submit a report or complaint to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation within one month of receiving such information, regardless of whether an arrest is made or charges are filed. The report must include details such as the name or identifying information of the accused, the nature of the alleged offense, and other relevant data.
Additionally, the bill ensures that the information submitted to the Bureau remains confidential and is not available for public inspection, except as permitted by law for official investigative or prosecutorial purposes. This new law is set to be codified as Section 40.3B of Title 22 in the Oklahoma Statutes and will take effect on November 1, 2026.
