OK SB1588

Medical care providers who are victims of crimes (assault, battery, or threats) reported to law enforcement may apply to Oklahoma's Address Confidentiality Program to have the Attorney General designate a substitute address for their residential, work, and school addresses

Eligible medical care providers include doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics, pharmacists, hospital security, medical students, and other healthcare facility employees or independent contractors

Program certification lasts 4 years and requires a sworn statement that the applicant fears for their safety; participants must notify the Attorney General within 7 days of any address change or face cancellation

The Attorney General will forward all first class, certified, and registered mail to participants at no charge, and state/local agencies must accept the substitute address for public records

False attestations on applications may result in perjury charges, and the Attorney General must cancel certification for applicants who provide false information or receive a name change while enrolled
