An Act ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO. 1046 By: Weaver of the Senate and Manger and Roe of the House An Act relating to domestic abuse; amending 21 O.S. 2021, Section 644, which relates to assault and battery; making first offense of domestic abuse against a pregnant woman a felony; increasing certain term of imprisonment; and declaring an emergency. SUBJECT: Domestic abuse

AI Summary

This bill amends Oklahoma law to make the first offense of domestic abuse against a pregnant woman a felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, rather than a misdemeanor. It also increases the penalty for subsequent offenses against a pregnant woman and adds additional penalties if the abuse results in a miscarriage or injury to the unborn child. The bill declares an emergency, meaning it would take effect immediately upon being signed into law.
