sex offender.

A. For purposes of this section, a person shall be considered

for removal of the requirement to register as a sex offender if the

person:

1. Was convicted of a violation of Section 1111.1 or 1114 of

Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes and the person does not have any

other conviction for a violation of Section 1111.1 or 1114 of Title

21 of the Oklahoma Statutes;

2. Is required to register as a sex offender solely on the

basis of a violation of Section 1111.1 or 1114 of Title 21 of the

Oklahoma Statutes; and

3. Was not more than four (4) years older than the victim of

the violation who was fourteen (14) years of age or older but not

more than seventeen (17) years of age at the time the person

committed the violation.

B. If a person meets the criteria provided for in subsection A

of this section, the person may petition the court in which the

sentence for the conviction occurred for removal of the requirement

to register as a sex offender. The person shall allege in the

petition that the person meets the criteria provided for in

subsection A of this section and that removal of the registration

requirement will not conflict with federal law. The district

attorney shall be given notice of the petition at least twenty-one

(21) days before the hearing on the petition. The district attorney

may present evidence in opposition to the requested relief or may

otherwise demonstrate why the petition should be denied. The court

shall rule on the petition and, if the court determines that the

person meets the criteria provided for in subsection A of this

section and removal of the registration requirement will not

conflict with federal law, may grant the petition and order the

removal of the registration requirement. If the court denies the

petition, the person shall not be authorized to file any further

petition for removal of the registration requirement pursuant to

this section.

C. If a person, who has yet to be sentenced for a conviction

for a violation of Section 1111.1 or 1114 of Title 21 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, meets the criteria provided for in subsection A

of this section, the person may move the sentencing court for

removal of the requirement to register as a sex offender. The

person shall allege in the motion that the person meets the criteria

provided for in subsection A of this section and that removal of the

requirement to register as a sex offender will not conflict with

federal law. The district attorney shall be given notice of the

motion at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the hearing on the

motion. The district attorney may present evidence in opposition to

the requested relief or may otherwise demonstrate why the motion

should be denied. The court shall rule on the motion and, if the

court determines that the person meets the criteria provided for in

subsection A of this section and that removal of the requirement to

register will not conflict with federal law, may grant the motion

and order the removal of the registration requirement. If the court

denies the motion, the person shall not be authorized to file any

further motions or petitions for removal of the registration

requirement pursuant to this section.

D. If a person provides to the Department of Corrections a

certified copy of the order of the court removing the requirement

that the person register as a sex offender, the registration

requirement shall not apply to the person and the Department shall

remove all information about the person from the public registry of

sex offenders maintained by the Department. However, the removal of

information about the person from the public registry shall not mean

that the public is denied access to information about the criminal

history or record of the person that is otherwise available as a

public record.
