OK HB3854

Victims and their families gain the right to confidentiality of crime scene and autopsy photographs during clemency hearings before the Pardon and Parole Board

Crime scene and autopsy photographs of victims are added to the list of confidential records exempt from the Oklahoma Open Records Act

Two separate clemency hearing packets must be submitted: one for public access (without victim photographs) and one for the Board (with all photographs)

The Pardon and Parole Board may seal any submission in the public packet that would infringe on victim confidentiality, as determined by majority vote

The Governor receives the complete clemency packet including all autopsy and crime scene photographs; effective date is November 1, 2026
