Parental rights; creating the Parental Rights Protection Act; providing certain penalties and immunities; establishing the Parental Rights Review Board. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 803, the Parental Rights Protection Act, establishes specific rights for parents involved in child welfare cases in Oklahoma. It guarantees parents the right to written notice of allegations, access to all evidence, fair investigations, timely appeals, and family reunification efforts before foster care placement. State agencies or officials who violate these rights face monetary fines, civil liability, disciplinary action, or mandatory training. The bill also creates a Parental Rights Review Board to handle complaints and monitor compliance, with annual public reporting. This directly affects parents navigating child welfare proceedings and state officials like DHS employees or judges.
