SB 1730 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Sex offenders; requiring law enforcement officers to submit a report or complaint for official investigation to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in certain circumstances. Effective date.

SB 1730 requires Oklahoma law enforcement officers to submit reports of alleged sex offenses (those that would require sex offender registration under state law) to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation within 30 days, regardless of whether an arrest is made. The bill mandates that these reports include details like the accused's identifying information, offense nature, and location, while keeping all submitted information confidential except for official investigations or prosecutions. This law directly affects law enforcement officers who handle such reports and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, which will manage the centralized records. It takes effect on November 1, 2026, and does not change existing registration requirements for convicted offenders.
