Protects minors from AI systems designed to simulate human-like relationships, prohibit the deployment of social AI companions and human-like AI chatbots to minors and would require reasonable age certification measures, with a narrow exception for certain therapeutic tools under strict professional oversight.
Yes, but the fines need to be more severe, and unlimited liability if the chatbot results in a suicide or other self harm.

Among other restricted uses of AI by state agencies, this bill prohibits the use of AI for real-time and remote biometric identification systems used for surveillance in public spaces, such as facial recognition. However, such surveillance use of AI is allowed when such use is conducted pursuant to a valid warrant or court order or in circumstances involving a specific imminent threat to life or serious injury.
Regarding the surveillance exception pursuant to a valid warrant or court order we suggest the language be revised to require any warrant or court order be a probable cause warrant as required by the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution.
Creates guardrails for AI use in state government. It would restrict high-risk uses such as manipulation, unlawful discrimination through automated classification systems, real-time remote biometric surveillance in public spaces, and deceptive or malicious deepfakes. It also would require human review of certain AI-driven recommendations and would strengthen transparency by requiring agency reporting and an annual statewide AI report published by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
Good bill, wish it was even stronger!

We agree with the intent of the bill to preclude AI systems from being granted personhood. However, we have some questions:
Affirms that AI systems and algorithms may not be granted legal personhood under the Constitution or laws of Oklahoma.

Existing Department of Education rules (OK Admin Code 210-35-3-126) prohibits materials in school libraries from having pornographic materials. Pornographic materials means the average person believes the material (e.g., a book) describes sexual conduct which is patently offensive, has a prominent theme that promotes a prurient interest in sex and lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, scientific or political value. Many Oklahoma schools rely on the requirement regarding literary value to put books on the school library shelves that obviously encourage an excessive interest in sex to minors and depict patently offensive sexual conduct.
SB1250 corrects this problem by simply stating that public and charter school libraries shall not include materials containing or depicting obscene material, sexual conduct, sexually explicit content, nudity, or material that is harmful to minors.
The bill does not prohibit a student from bringing such materials to school, apparently leaving such rules up to local school districts.
Recalcitrant school districts which persist in providing banned materials are subject to a possible funding penalty, at the discretion of the State Board of Education.
Thanks to the Senators who passed this out of the Senate!

This is a Right to Try bill.
Patients should be allowed to use personalized investigational treatments that are tailored to a patient's own genetic profile after exhausting treatments approved by FDA.
This increases access to experimental or more individualized treatments and expands patient/parent choice in medical care for those with complex medical conditions.
SB933 β The Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act would allow patients with serious or complex medical conditions to access personalized investigational treatments when standard options are not enough.
No parent should face government intervention simply for advocating for thoughtful, individualized medical care for their child.
Precision medicine is the future, especially for people with rare diseases, genetic conditions, and complex medical cases.
Oklahoma families deserve:
β’ the freedom to pursue individualized medical care
β’ the ability to work with physicians on innovative treatments
β’ protection from unnecessary government interference in complex medical decisions

We oppose HB1912 because a significant portion of the population has issues tolerating synthetic folic acid. Additionally, the government already mandates synthetic folic acid fortification in many wheat products, so there is no shortage of options for those who prefer or want the synthetic version.
Senator Murdock should not be telling citizens what they can purchase from the grocery store.
Synthetic folic acid has a high, unacceptable level of risk and danger for children's neurological and immune status. Should NOT be added to food.
No medical mandates! Folic acid is dangerous for many.
Not everyone can process folic acid.

We feel this bills expands government, creates another fee thus expanding the misuse of funds as we have seen with other agencies..By assisting "preservation of agricultural operations along side energy operations" the bill actually encourages renewable energy projects, something we should be minimizing.
HBβ―1453 would prohibit hostile foreign entities from acquiring land in Oklahoma. This measure is essential to safeguard our stateβsagriculture, natural resources, critical infrastructure, and longβterm security. Keeping Oklahoma land in the hands of local owners who share our nationβs interests protects the livelihoods of our communities and preserves the integrity of our state for future generations.
HB 1453 isnβt a one-sentence bill β it involves legal procedures around property owned by foreign individuals or entities, divestment requirements, penalties, and enforcement by the AG.
Its progress and details will matter a lot for landowners, legal professionals, and policymakers concerned about foreign ownership in Oklahoma.
I have been a witness to a permanent legal alien(non citizen) who has purchased several properties including homes, businesses and a huge grow. I have also seen her so called "investor". This needs to stop. I have a lot more information I have turned over to authorities.
Prevents foreign ownership of Oklahoma land. This has passed out of committee 6 - 2 vote. HBβ―1453 would prohibit hostile foreign entities from acquiring land in Oklahoma.
