Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act; modifying certain exemption. Effective date.
SB 436 amends Oklahoma's Consumer Protection Act to clarify exemptions for certain businesses and government-regulated activities. It updates two specific exemptions: (1) clarifying that publishers, broadcasters, and similar entities aren't subject to the law when distributing information they didn't know was unlawful, and (2) specifying that regulated transactions under government agencies (like the Corporation Commission) are exempt if done in good faith based on tax authority. The bill directly affects media companies, retailers, and businesses operating under state or federal regulatory oversight. It takes effect November 1, 2025.
