SB 1788 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Law enforcement; requiring certain record and verification procedure. Emergency.

SB 1788 requires Oklahoma law enforcement agencies (like county sheriff's offices and city police departments) to verify and accurately record a person's race during the booking process. This involves using government-issued ID, birth certificates, or observable physical traits, followed by a second officer's review of the entry against the person's photo and documentation. Agencies must annually audit 10% of booking records to correct inaccuracies within 30 days and report findings to the Department of Public Safety. Violations may result in civil penalties up to $50,000 per audit cycle or loss of state funding.
