OK HB3155

Amends Oklahoma's Open Records Act (51 O.S. Supp. 2009, Section 24A.5) to provide exemptions for information in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's files, including hearsay, preliminary investigation findings, and confidential medical information.

Exempts autopsy report information showing "manner of death" as homicide, unknown, or pending from public disclosure until discoverable under law; permits district attorneys to disclose such information in their jurisdiction.

Requires the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to release a prepared report containing specific decedent information (autopsy number, case number, manner of death, name, age, date of birth, race, sex, address, notification details, and filing date).

Renumbers existing Open Records Act provisions and maintains fee schedules for record copying (maximum 25 cents per page, or $1.00 per certified copy), with exemptions for requests in the public interest.

Declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon passage and approval.
