Criminal Justice (Courts · Civil Liberties)

SB 1321 prohibits Oklahoma government entities from seeking or using "reverse-keyword" court orders (requiring disclosure of people who searched specific terms online) or "reverse-location" court orders (requiring location data of unspecified devices). It also bans government requests for such data without a court order, with strict penalties for violations. Individuals whose data is improperly collected can sue for $1,000 per violation or actual damages, plus punitive damages based on factors like the number of people affected and whether constitutional rights were targeted. The bill makes illegally obtained data inadmissible in court and allows victims to recover attorney fees. It takes effect November 1, 2026.
