HB 1346 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Child pornography; changing name of certain defined term; repealers; emergency.

HB 1346 changes Oklahoma's legal terminology by replacing "child pornography" with "child sexual abuse material" across multiple statutes (including Sections 791, 791.1, and 1024.1 of Title 21). It creates liability for commercial entities that knowingly publish or distribute such material online, allowing affected individuals to seek damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The bill also establishes new definitions for terms like "reasonable age verification methods" (e.g., digital ID verification or third-party services) and "transactional data" to support enforcement. These changes apply directly to online platforms and commercial operators hosting material deemed harmful to minors. The bill was passed unanimously on March 25, 2025, with an emergency effective date.
