SB 2098 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Vital records; requiring birth certificate include certain provisions; excluding certain individuals from citizenship. Emergency.

SB 2098 requires Oklahoma birth certificates to list both parents' citizenship status and the child's citizenship designation from four options: U.S. citizenship, Oklahoma citizenship, tribal citizenship, or foreign national status. It specifically prohibits granting U.S. or Oklahoma citizenship to children born to parents who are neither U.S. citizens nor legal residents, mandating only "foreign national" as the child's designation. The bill directly affects newborns in Oklahoma whose parents lack U.S. citizenship or residency status. If enacted, it would change how citizenship is documented on birth certificates for these children, excluding them from automatic U.S. citizenship under federal law.
