Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation; modifying time frame for which sexual assault evidence kits must be submitted and tested. Effective date.
SB 1584 modifies Oklahoma law regarding sexual assault evidence kits by reducing the deadline for law enforcement to submit kits to crime labs from 20 to 10 days after a sexual assault report is filed, unless the victim requests no testing. It requires crime labs to test kits within 30 days of receipt and mandates that medical providers inform victims of their right to request future testing. The bill also maintains a 50-year retention requirement for untested kits and requires law enforcement to coordinate with the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence Task Force (SAFE) on processing guidelines. This directly affects law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories, and sexual assault victims in Oklahoma. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.
