AI Summary
This bill modifies the definitions and classifications of certain assault and battery offenses in Oklahoma law, with an effective date of November 1, 2026. It updates statutory references to ensure consistency across different sections of the law, particularly concerning Class A3 and Class B3 offenses, which are categories of criminal offenses with varying degrees of severity. The bill also revises the penalties for simple assault and battery, increasing the potential jail time and fines. Notably, it reclassifies domestic assault and battery with a deadly weapon and domestic abuse against a pregnant woman resulting in serious harm or injury to the unborn child as Class A3 felonies, indicating a significant increase in the severity of these crimes. Additionally, it clarifies the definition of "great bodily injury" in the context of domestic abuse and makes several technical amendments to existing statutes related to assault and battery, including repealing previous versions of Section 644 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes to consolidate the law.
