Oklahoma Age Verification Law Takes Effect Nov. 1

OKLAHOMA CITY — With Oklahoma's age verification law, SB 1959, poised to go into effect this Friday, Nov. 1, Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has released a brief statement regarding the legislation.

The FSC statement follows:

Oklahoma’s age-verification law, SB 1959, goes into effect on Friday, November 1, 2024. The law can be enforced either through a private civil suits (and class actions) or through legal action initiated by the Oklahoma Attorney General.

The text of the law can be found here.

The law directs the Attorney General to “develop and publish, consistent with the provisions of this act, guidance or regulations as appropriate to assist commercial entities to comply with this act." We have reached out to the Attorney General’s office to determine if any such guidance or regulations have been developed or published.

In the meantime, platforms accessible in the state of Oklahoma should be aware of the risks and take precautions to protect themselves from potential liability.
