The Entertainer Safety and Verification Act establishes new regulations for exotic entertainers in Oklahoma, requiring them to obtain a valid license from the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission before performing in sexually oriented businesses. The bill mandates annual licensure and outlines specific qualifications for applicants, including age, citizenship, and a clean criminal record related to certain offenses. The ABLE Commission is tasked with administering the licensing process, which includes background checks and verification of eligibility criteria. Additionally, business owners must verify the validity of entertainers' licenses and maintain confidential records for a minimum of twelve months.

The bill imposes penalties for violations, including fines and potential imprisonment for unlicensed performers and business owners who allow unlicensed performances. First-time offenders may face fines up to $500 or up to one year in jail, while repeat offenders could incur higher fines and longer sentences. Businesses found in violation of the licensing requirements may face administrative fines and suspension of their licenses. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
