SB 693 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Social media; requiring certain warning on social media platforms. Effective date.

SB 693 amends Oklahoma's Consumer Protection Act to classify certain social media platform practices as unlawful business violations. It creates the "Social Media Mitigation for Minor Mental Health Fund" in the State Treasury, funded by civil penalties imposed on social media platforms found in violation. The bill directly affects social media platforms operating in Oklahoma that fail to comply with the new consumer protection standards. These penalties will support mental health services for minors, as specified in the fund's purpose. The legislation does not mandate specific content warnings but establishes penalties for violations of the updated consumer law.
