Under the law, a person who participated in a "riot" and "obstructed" the "normal use" of a public street or highway, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison, a $5,000 fine, and restitution for any property damage that occurs. The law defines "obstruct" to include rendering the street or highway "unreasonably inconvenient or hazardous" for cars' passage, including by "standing" on the street or highway. "Riot" is broadly defined under existing Oklahoma law, to include a group of three or more people who make "any threat to use force." The new law also shields from liability a driver who injures or kills someone while "fleeing from a riot," as long as they did so "unintentionally," were "exercising due care," and held a "reasonable belief" that they needed to flee to protect themselves. Under the law, such a driver cannot be held civilly or criminally liable for the injuries or death they caused. Finally, the law provides that an organization found to have "conspired" with individuals who are found guilty of certain offenses--including "unlawful assembly," "riot," "incitement to riot," refusing to aid in the arrest of a "rioter," and remaining at the scene of a "riot" after being ordered to disperse--may be fined ten times the maximum amount of fine authorized for the individual's offense.</p><p>Read full text:<br><a href="https://www.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=hb1674&Session=2100" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.asp</span><span class="invisible">x?Bill=hb1674&Session=2100</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 2 Feb 2021; Approved by House 10 March 2021; Approved by Senate 14 April 2021; Signed by Governor Stitt 21 April 2021</p><p>Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestSupporters</span></a> or Funders, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DriverImmunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DriverImmunity</span></a>, Riot, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrafficInterference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrafficInterference</span></a><br> </p><p>HB 2095: Racketeering penalties for those involved in "unlawful assemblies"</p><p>Adds "unlawful assemblies" to the offenses that can be prosecuted as "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racketeering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racketeering</span></a> activity" under Oklahoma's <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RICO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RICO</span></a> statute.

The law's extensive list of "critical infrastructure" facilities ranges from a petroleum refinery to a telephone pole. Willfully entering onto property containing critical infrastructure without permission is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to $1,000 or six month in jail, or both. Evidence of intent to damage or otherwise harm the operations of the infrastructure facility would make the offence a felony, punishable by at least $10,000 (with no maximum provided) or imprisonment for one year, or both; actual damage or vandalizing of the facility is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Organizations found to have "conspired" with perpetrators are liable for up to $1,000,000. The sponsor of the law told a House of Representatives committee that it was prompted by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccessPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DakotaAccessPipeline</span></a> protests in North Dakota. </p><p>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://legiscan.com/OK/text/HB1123/2017" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">legiscan.com/OK/text/HB1123/20</span><span class="invisible">17</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 6 Feb 2017; Signed into law 3 May 2017</p><p>Issue(s): Protest Supporters or Funders, Infrastructure, Trespass<br> </p><p>HB 2128: Heightened penalties for protesters who <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trespass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trespass</span></a> onto private property</p><p>Increases the potential penalties levied on individuals who protest on private property without permission.

Under the bill, someone who “willfully disturbs, interrupts, or disquiets” a group of “people met for religious worship” commits a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and $500, or a felony punishable by two years in prison and $1,000 for subsequent offenses. As written, the bill would seemingly allow anyone who was the target of a protest—for instance, lawmakers at the statehouse—to make a protest illegal simply by starting to pray. The prohibition extends to any unauthorized “protest [or] demonstration” within one mile of the individuals engaged in religious worship. “Disturb” and “disquiet” are not defined by the bill, such that even a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilentDemonstration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilentDemonstration</span></a> that was visible to people engaged in religious worship as far as one mile away could be prohibited. The bill was introduced as a substitute to SB 743 on March 25, 2025. <br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://www.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=SB743&Session=2500" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.asp</span><span class="invisible">x?Bill=SB743&Session=2500</span></a></p><p>Status: pending</p><p>Introduced 25 Mar 2025; Approved by Senate 27 March 2025</p><p>SB 481: Restrictions on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicEmployees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicEmployees</span></a>' ability to protest</p><p>Would broadly prohibit public employees from participating in protests during work hours in most situations. Under a committee substitute to the bill introduced on February 25, it would be unlawful for state or local government employees including public school teachers to “speak on or participate in a matter of public concern deemed a matter of larger societal significance” in “an organized form of protest” during their normal working hours. The bill would allow public employees to protest during working hours only if they were using annual leave and if their actions did not create “an undue burden on the employer’s interest in an efficient, disruptive-free workplace”—a vaguely worded condition that employers could abuse to restrict employees' participation in disfavored protests. The bill would also prohibit public employees from using publicly owned computers, transportation, or other equipment for conduct related to participation in protests.</p><p>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://www.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=sb481&Session=2500" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.asp</span><span class="invisible">x?Bill=sb481&Session=2500</span></a></p><p>Status: pending</p><p>Introduced 25 Feb 2025.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Clampdown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingProtest</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtestLaws</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PipelineProtests</span></a></p>

Nor does the law require any intent on the part of protesters to target a specific residence or to harass or disturb specific residents. The law also does not require that a protest actually disrupt an individual's right to use their residence, only that it "threaten" to do so.

Unauthorized entry onto critical infrastructure property as defined above is punishable by imprisonment with or without hard labor for up to five years and a fine of $1,000. As originally introduced, the law included a new crime of "conspiracy to engage in unauthorized entry" of a critical infrastructure facility, punishable by imprisonment with or without hard labor for up to five years and a fine of $10,000, such that individuals who only planned to hold a peaceful protest on infrastructure property could be prosecuted.
