HB 1699

Oklahoma HB 1699, will be heard on the house floor Monday morning.

If HB1699 passes, it will change the law to do two things.



1. The court will be required to provide full and timely access to all the reports that the court considers before issuing an order of disposition in custody or visitation proceedings. The reports must be provided to the parents, guardians, and legal custodians of the child.





2. In cases of the death or near death of a child, the public disclosure of information about the case will be mandatory instead of optional.
* There is a time limit of 30 days for the information to be released.
* DHS, OCCY, the district attorney, the district court clerk and the judge having jurisdiction over the case are all required to release certain information and the bill stipulates what information each agency or person must disclose.
* For the first time, the district attorney must disclose what actions were taken in response to reports received from DHS and OCCY.
* It also eliminates the summary of recommendations made at the judicial proceedings and instead requires the judge to provide the recommendations, in writing, to each participant.
