Bill > HB1217

This bill establishes new legal restrictions on adult performances containing obscene material in public spaces or in view of minors in Oklahoma. The legislation defines key terms such as "adult performance" (any performance with obscene material viewed by a minor or in a public place), "minor" (an unmarried person under 18), and "public place" (freely accessible areas, with exceptions for spaces that limit access through admissions or age restrictions). The bill makes it unlawful for any person to engage in an adult performance with obscene material where a minor might be exposed, and prohibits political subdivisions from allowing, permitting, organizing, or authorizing such performances on public property. Violations are classified as misdemeanors, punishable by up to one year in county jail, a fine between $500 and $1,000, or both. The law also includes a provision that protects political subdivisions from liability if they act in good faith, and it preempts any existing local ordinances or regulations that conflict with its provisions. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
