HB 3011 Summary

• Modifies Oklahoma Adoption Code by eliminating extrajudicial consent procedures and requiring all adoption consents to be handled through the court system

• Changes timeline for parental consent: mothers and fathers of children born in wedlock cannot execute valid consent until 10 days after birth; putative fathers are prohibited from giving consent (previously allowed)

• Establishes mandatory genetic testing when a putative father files a paternity action, with provisions allowing him to object to adoption and obtain sole custody if paternity is established

• Removes references to extrajudicial consent throughout adoption statutes and repeals Section 7503-2.6 entirely, consolidating all consent procedures under judicial oversight

• Effective date: November 1, 2014
