Address Confidentiality Program; permitting certain medical care providers to apply for the Address Confidentiality Program. Effective date.
SB 1588 expands Oklahoma's Address Confidentiality Program to allow medical care providers (including doctors, nurses, paramedics, and hospital staff) who have reported a crime against them to use a confidential address instead of their real residential or work address. Applicants must submit a sworn statement detailing safety concerns, provide contact details for the Attorney General, and designate the AG as their agent for mail and legal notices. The Attorney General approves applications, provides a substitute address for official records, and keeps actual addresses confidential, with penalties for false statements including perjury charges. The program, effective November 1, 2026, ensures medical providers can safely access services while maintaining privacy from potential retaliation.
