Oklahoma Children's Code; authorizing court to order disclosure of certain information; authorizing court to take certain actions during deprived proceedings. Effective date.

SB 1113 requires Oklahoma courts in child welfare cases (deprived proceedings) to disclose specified records to all parties involved, including parents, the child, and court-appointed guardians. It creates a strong rule that disclosure is generally required for the child's best interest, which can only be overridden if the court finds by a preponderance of evidence that disclosure would harm the child. The bill mandates disclosure of specific records like Department of Human Services assessments, law enforcement reports, medical evaluations, safety plans, and digital communications (including emails and texts within DHS), while requiring all information identifying abuse reporters to be redacted. All disclosed information must remain confidential under a court-ordered protective order, prohibiting unauthorized use or sharing.
