Child custody; creating the Oklahoma Time Taken, Time Back Act. Effective date.

SB 1723, the "Oklahoma Time Taken, Time Back Act," requires courts to order additional visitation time for parents who were denied court-ordered visitation due to certain investigations (like those by the Department of Human Services or protective orders) that did not result in findings of abuse or neglect. The bill mandates that any additional time must match the type and duration of the denied visitation, occur within two years, and be scheduled at the parent’s preferred time (subject to court rules). It specifically excludes lawsuits against the Department of Human Services, preserving its immunity from liability. This law directly affects parents whose visitation rights were disrupted by non-abusive investigations.
