Okla. Stat. tit. 56, § 56-240.22B

A. The Department shall make the first request to each

financial institution to provide data in writing. Within thirty

(30) days of such notification, each financial institution notified

shall provide a list containing the name, record address, social

security number, and other identifying data of each noncustodial

parent who maintains an account at the institution and who is in

noncompliance with an order for support. Each financial institution

is further required to provide such information within thirty (30)

days of the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, after receiving

an updated list of obligors from the Department, without further

notification from the Department.

B. To comply with the requirements of this act a financial

institution may either:

1. Provide to the Department the list of all account holders

for the Department to compare against its list of obligors in

noncompliance with an order for support for the purpose of

identifying which obligors maintain any account at the financial

institution; or

2. Obtain a list of obligors in noncompliance with an order for

support from the Department and compare that data to the data

maintained by the financial institution to identify which of the

obligors maintains any account at the financial institution. The

Department shall provide the list of obligors in noncompliance with

an order for support in electronic media form and compatible format

unless the financial institution requests the list to be in written

format.

of Human Services in writing within fifteen (15) days of the

original request to provide the data and by December 15 of each

calendar year if it chooses to change methods for the following

submitting electronic media in a compatible format, delivering,

mailing, or telefaxing a copy of the data or by other means

authorized by the Director of the Department of Human Services, or

their designee, that will result in timely reporting.

provided by a financial institution under paragraph 1 of subsection

pertain to an obligor listed in the Department's database shall be

immediately destroyed and no retention or publication shall be made

of that data by the Department. Financial institutions choosing the

method described in paragraph 2 of subsection B of this section

should immediately destroy all information provided by the

Department after all matches are determined and forwarded to the

Department. All account information that does pertain to an obligor

listed in the Department's database shall be incorporated into the

Department's database and access to that data will then be governed

by this act.
