Domestic Abuse Victim Protection Bill Advances

A measure to protect and keep confidential the location of victims of domestic abuse passed a House committee. House Bill 2250, by Rep. Marian Cooksey, modifies what information municipal utility companies can disclose to the public under the Oklahoma Open Records Act and allows non-disclosure of a customer's name. The bill also defines what information may be available for public access including consumption rates, adjustments to the bill, reasons for adjustment, address and the name of the person that authorized the adjustment.
