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 when they cannot fulfill a records request within 5 business days. This bill specifically adds a new requirement that agencies must send a written explanation if they need more time to process a request. The notice must detail the reason for the delay and the expected completion date. This change aims to improve transparency and accountability in how public records requests are handled. It directly affects all state and local government entities that receive public records requests under the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
