SB 1097 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Open Records Act; requiring certain written notice when records request cannot be completed within a specified time. Effective date.

SB 1097 amends Oklahoma's Open Records Act to require public bodies (like government agencies) to provide written notice to requesters if they cannot fulfill a records request within 5 business days. The notice must explain the reason for the delay and specify when the request will be completed. This change applies to all public records requests under the Act, ensuring requesters receive clear communication about processing timelines. The bill focuses on improving transparency in how agencies handle delays, without altering existing exemptions or fees for record access.
