Oklahoma SB2175 clarifies when courts must advise parents, legal guardians, or custodians of certain rights during emergency custody hearings.

Oklahoma SB2175 requires the Director of the Courts to create an affidavit form for emergency custody hearings. This form must notify parents, legal guardians, or custodians that failure to identify a parent or relative may result in the child being permanently placed outside the home. It also advises them of the penalties for perjury and contempt of court. The form must be filed with the court clerk within five days of the hearing.
