Oklahoma AI Laws: What's Enacted and What's Next (2027)
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited November 5, 2026). · Law checked current as of November 5, 2026. · 12 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content

As of November 2026, Oklahoma has no comprehensive AI statute that we could find. The main AI-specific law we found is the Oklahoma Responsible Technology in Schools Act (SB 1734, 2026), and HB 1364 (2025) added AI-generated sexual depictions to 21 O.S. 1040.13b. The 2026 chatbot bill, SB 1521, did not become law in the bill record we read.
How we searched: We did not run a keyword search of Oklahoma session laws. We opened the bill pages of 15 measures found through web searches, the enrolled text of the acts below, and the published Title 21. A search of our stored copy of the Oklahoma Statutes, captured July 31, 2026, for "artificial intelligence" also hit an optometry definition, 59 O.S. 646.1. These steps do not establish that no other AI provision exists, including inside a broader act.
This page covers Oklahoma law as of November 4, 2026. It is general legal information, not legal advice. For the national picture, see our guide to US AI laws.
SB 1734: The Oklahoma Responsible Technology in Schools Act

SB 1734 was approved by the Governor on May 12, 2026. The enrolled text would be codified at 70 O.S. 11-120, unless a numbering duplication changes that. It states July 1, 2026 as its effective date and also declares an emergency. Whichever controls, both dates have passed.

The act applies to public school districts. Where a district uses AI:
- Human control. Classroom AI tools must be deployed through educator-directed use. Classroom and student-facing tools must operate with a human in the loop, and outputs must be reviewed by an educator or authorized employee before use in instruction, feedback, assessment or decision-making.
- High-stakes decisions. AI tools "shall not be used as the primary basis for student grading, discipline, placement, promotion, retention, or other high-stakes educational decisions."
- Parents. Each district must give parents or guardians a written disclosure at least yearly, listing AI tools, vendors, categories of student data, how far data is shared, and each tool's purpose.
- Opt-out. A parent or guardian may opt a student out of student-facing AI tools by written notice. Students who opt out "shall not be academically penalized or denied access to core instructional content."
- Guidance and policy. The State Department of Education must develop guidance, and each district board must adopt an AI policy before the 2027-2028 school year.
The act does not require any district to use AI. The State Board of Education may make rules. The text names no penalty or enforcement mechanism.
HB 1364: AI-Generated Sexual Depictions (21 O.S. 1040.13b)

HB 1364, approved May 5, 2025 and effective November 1, 2025, covers a person who disseminates an artificially generated sexual depiction of another person "with the intent or with reckless disregard to harass, annoy, threaten, alarm, or cause physical, emotional, reputational, or economic harm to the depicted person", without that person's effective consent. A depiction counts when it appears to authentically show nudity or sexual conduct that did not occur, and its production depended substantially on technical means rather than physical impersonation.
The base offense is a misdemeanor of up to one year in county jail, a fine up to $1,000, or both. It is a felony of up to five years if the person gains or tries to gain property or value, with up to ten years and sex offender registration for a later violation of that kind. Three or more images or depictions within six months carry up to ten years. Listed exceptions and provider protections apply.
Two versions. The published Title 21, read November 4, 2026, lists two versions of 1040.13b. Version 1 is HB 1364, with the AI text. Version 2 comes from HB 2104, a felony reclassification act effective January 1, 2026, and has no AI definitions. We found no 2026 act reconciling them, but we did not search all 2026 session laws, and we do not say which version a court would apply.
Our guide to Oklahoma deepfake laws has the detail.
HB 3244: AI as a Means of Identity Crime
HB 3244 became law without the Governor's signature on May 7, 2026, and its enrolled text took effect November 1, 2026. It adds AI to a list of means in two places. In 21 O.S. 425, it refers to an initial act committed "online through cyberspace, by a computer application, social media, artificial intelligence, or by a cellular network". In 21 O.S. 1533.1, it names "artificial intelligence (AI) technology" among the electronic devices a person may use to commit identity theft, which brings Section 1958 into play in addition to the identity theft penalties.
State Agencies: The OMES AI Standard and Executive Order 2023-24
Governor Stitt announced an AI task force on September 25, 2023 under Executive Order 2023-24. The task force was to report by December 31, 2023, and agency directors were to charge one person with becoming an AI expert.
The Office of Management and Enterprise Services publishes the Use of AI in Oklahoma State Government Standard, effective March 6, 2025 and last revised July 29, 2026. It applies to state government, not private businesses.
- "All AI suppliers shall obtain an Authority to Operate" under the OMES Supply Chain Security Standard before a state agency can implement or use the system. The CIO decides on any additional review.
- "Sensitive data shall not be transmitted when using public AI systems." It may go through a separate secure instance only with CIO approval.
- A violation "may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination."
Insurers and AI: Bulletin No. 2024-11
The Oklahoma Insurance Department issued Bulletin No. 2024-11 on November 14, 2024. It reminds insurers holding certificates of authority that decisions or actions affecting consumers, when made or supported by advanced analytical and computational technologies including AI systems, "must comply with all applicable insurance laws and regulations."
It is a regulator's statement of expectations under existing law, not a new law. The NAIC's status list, dated November 3, 2026, lists it for Oklahoma.
Oklahoma AI Bills That Did Not Become Law

The last action below is what each bill page on oklegislature.gov showed when read on November 4, 2026. The House journal for May 14, 2026 records that the House adjourned sine die at 4:25 p.m.
| Bill | Subject | Last action shown |
|---|---|---|
| SB 1521 | Chatbots and minors | Passed Senate 43-0 and House 90-0 with amendments; House amendments read April 29, 2026; no concurrence or governor's action |
| HB 3544 | AI companions and minors | Passed House 96-0; Senate committee do pass as amended April 16, 2026; on Senate General Order April 21, 2026 |
| HB 3545 | State agency AI use | Passed House 96-0; Senate committee referral April 1, 2026 |
| HB 3546 | AI personhood | Passed House 94-2; on Senate General Order April 21, 2026 |
| HB 3299 | Synthetic media and likeness | House committee action February 26, 2026 |
| HB 1916 | AI deployment | Referred to House Rules |
| SB 746 | AI disclosure in political media | Never left Senate committee |
| HB 3675 | AI in utilization review | Committee referral only |
| SB 1967 | AI in utilization review | Committee referral only |
| SB 2037 | AI in mental health, consent | Committee referral only |
| SB 2038 | AI in health insurance determinations | Committee referral only |
Because SB 746 and similar bills did not pass, we found no enacted Oklahoma law requiring AI disclosure in political ads.
What We Did Not Find in Oklahoma
We found no enacted Oklahoma statute specifically on AI in hiring, companion chatbots, frontier models or AI in health insurance decisions, within the search limits stated at the top of this page. We found no attorney general enforcement action or court challenge in web searches.
Attorneys general in Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska and West Virginia announced separate suits against OpenAI on October 14, 2026. Official releases from several of those states also name Kansas. Oklahoma is not in that list, and a web search limited to the Oklahoma Attorney General's site found no release on it.
AI Note-Takers and Recording in Oklahoma

AI meeting assistants raise recording consent questions. Our guide to Oklahoma AI meeting recording laws covers them.
Federal Law and Oklahoma's AI Laws
As of November 4, 2026, we found no federal statute in the public laws of the 119th Congress that sets general rules for private AI systems or generally preempts state AI laws. In December 2025, Executive Order 14365 directed federal agencies to challenge or discourage state AI laws the administration views as conflicting with national policy, and called for a federal framework from Congress. The order itself does not declare any state law invalid. See our pages on the AI executive orders and state AI law preemption.
What Changes in Oklahoma AI Law in 2027
As of November 4, 2026, these are the dated items we found:
- November 1, 2026 (already passed). HB 3244 took effect.
- Before the 2027-2028 school year. Each school district board of education must adopt an AI policy under SB 1734.
Beyond that, we found no AI law scheduled to take effect in Oklahoma in 2027; we searched the bill pages and enrolled acts named on this page for the 2025 and 2026 sessions, not the full text of all session laws.
The 2025-26 bills in the table above are not alive for 2027, based on a reported rule that carry-over applies only to the first session of a biennium. We did not open the rule text. We found no 2027 filings as of November 4, 2026, so any of these ideas would need a new bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Oklahoma have an AI law?
Oklahoma has targeted laws, including SB 1734 on AI in public schools and HB 1364 on AI-generated sexual depictions. As of November 2026, we found no comprehensive AI statute, based on bill pages and enrolled acts rather than a full-text search of session laws.
Did Oklahoma pass an AI chatbot law?
No, based on the bill page we read on November 4, 2026. SB 1521 passed the Senate and passed the House with amendments, but the page shows no Senate concurrence and no governor's action, and the House journal records adjournment sine die on May 14, 2026.
Can Oklahoma schools use AI to grade students?
SB 1734 says AI tools shall not be used as the primary basis for student grading or other high-stakes educational decisions. Outputs must be reviewed by an educator or authorized school employee before use. The act does not ban AI tools in schools.
Can parents opt out of AI in Oklahoma schools?
Under SB 1734, a parent or guardian may give written notice opting a student out of student-facing AI tools at any time. Students who opt out shall not be academically penalized or denied access to core instructional content.
Are AI deepfakes illegal in Oklahoma?
Some are. HB 1364 covers disseminating an artificially generated sexual depiction of another person, with intent or reckless disregard as to harassing or harming the person, without effective consent. Title 21 publishes two versions of 21 O.S. 1040.13b, and only one contains the AI text. We found no enacted general deepfake law.
Does Oklahoma regulate AI in state government?
Through a standard rather than a statute that we found. The OMES standard, last revised July 29, 2026, requires AI suppliers to obtain an Authority to Operate and bars sending sensitive data through public AI systems. HB 3545, a state agency AI bill, did not become law.
Updates
Added SB 1734, HB 3244 and the insurance bulletin, corrected the OMES security requirement, and changed SB 1521 and other bills from pending to not enacted.
Independently fact-checked against the cited primary sources; governing law re-checked for recent changes
Corrected the penalties under HB 1364, which range from a misdemeanor up to a ten-year felony rather than being a misdemeanor offense, and disclosed that Oklahoma's official statutes currently publish two competing versions of Section 1040.13b, only one of which contains the AI provisions.
Updated SB 1521 (AI chatbot protections for minors) from 'passed Senate committee, pending' to its actual current status: it has passed both the full Senate (43-0) and full House (90-0) and awaits final Senate concurrence and the Governor's signature. Also fixed a dead OMES AI-standard citation link.
