Oklahoma bans child marriage as new state laws take effect
A ban on child marriage, the rounding of cash payments to state agencies and broader identity-theft protections are among the Oklahoma laws that took effect on Nov. 1.
A ban on child marriage is among a batch of new Oklahoma laws that took effect on Sunday, Nov. 1. The law removes exceptions that had allowed minors to marry with parental consent or a judge's approval.
Cash payments to state agencies will now be rounded up or down to the nearest five cents. Checks, credit cards and electronic payments are not affected, and the law does not require private businesses to round purchases. Cities and counties have until July 1, 2027, to make the transition.
Another law allows car dealers, salvage companies, auction houses and dismantlers to perform vehicle identification number (VIN) inspections, expanding where drivers can get the service beyond Service Oklahoma staff and licensed operators. First responders must also notify law enforcement as soon as practicable after treating someone for a suspected drug overdose, with legal immunity for notifications made in good faith.
Identity-theft offenses now cover more personal information, including fingerprints, PINs, DNA, usernames and passwords used with fraudulent intent, and penalties for repeat offenders have been strengthened, according to the Legislature.
