Oklahoma SB1097 amends the Oklahoma Open Records Act to update the statutory reference and require public bodies to provide written notice to the requestor if a records request cannot be completed within ten business days. The notice must indicate the reason for the delay and specify a date when the information will be available. The bill also sets limits on fees for copying records and mandates that fees not be used to discourage requests or obstruct disclosure. The act applies to all records of public bodies and officials, except those specifically required by law to be kept confidential.
