HB 2289 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Judicial and elected official security and privacy; creating the Oklahoma Elected Official and Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2025; effective date; emergency.

HB 2289, now law in Oklahoma, creates the "Oklahoma Elected Official and Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2025" to protect specific personal details of elected officials and judges. It defines "at-risk individuals" as current/federal/state elected officials, judges (active or retired), and municipal/county officials, along with their immediate family. State agencies must mark and remove covered information - including home addresses, phone numbers, email, Social Security numbers, and children's school details - from public records within 72 hours of a request. The law also requires annual reports on security spending and data breaches, with strict rules for sharing such information (only via signed releases, court orders, or confidentiality agreements).
