Searches and seizures; prohibiting certain court orders; providing exceptions; requiring notice; specifying factors for determining punitive damages. Effective date.
SB 624 prohibits Oklahoma government entities from seeking or using "reverse-keyword" or "reverse-location" court orders or requests that would compel tech companies to disclose individuals' search histories or precise location data. It bans all such requests, including voluntary offers to purchase this data, and requires government entities to notify people if their information was improperly obtained. Individuals harmed by violations can sue for $1,000 per violation (or actual damages), punitive damages, and attorney fees, with courts considering factors like whether constitutional rights were targeted. The bill directly affects all Oklahoma state/local government agencies and protects residents' digital privacy by blocking broad data collection on online activity.
