Searches and seizures; prohibiting certain court orders; providing exceptions; requiring notice; specifying factors for determining punitive damages. Effective date.
SB 624 prohibits Oklahoma government entities from seeking or using "reverse-keyword" court orders (requiring data on people who searched specific terms/websites) or "reverse-location" court orders (requiring location data for unspecified devices in an area). It also bans government requests for such data without a court order. The bill requires government entities to notify individuals if their data was improperly obtained, and allows affected people to sue for $1,000 per violation or actual damages, plus punitive damages based on factors like targeting protected activities. This directly affects state/local governments and individuals whose digital data might be improperly collected under broad surveillance methods.
