Bill > HB1862

This bill creates the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Event Deconfliction Act, which establishes a comprehensive system for law enforcement agencies to coordinate and prevent potential conflicts during high-risk operations. The act defines an "event deconfliction system" as a mechanism to help law enforcement personnel avoid accidentally interfering with each other's operations, such as raids, surveillance, or warrant service. Law enforcement personnel are required to submit detailed information about planned events to the system at least one hour before the operation, including case number, event type, date and time, location, lead agency, contact information, and other relevant details. The bill mandates that personnel submit information about specific types of events like search warrants, planned arrests, surveillance operations, and other high-risk activities. When a potential conflict is identified, law enforcement must make a good faith effort to resolve the issue before proceeding. The bill also emphasizes confidentiality, making submitted information protected from public records requests and subpoenas, and establishes penalties for misusing the system, including potential misdemeanor charges with fines up to $500 or up to one year in county jail. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control is authorized to create rules for implementing the act, which will become effective on November 1, 2025.
