AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends Oklahoma law to strengthen penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) by allowing for the aggregation of multiple DUI offenses within a one-year period to be prosecuted as a single Class C2 felony offense, and it also creates new felony classifications for repeat DUI offenders and those who commit DUI with aggravating factors such as high blood alcohol concentration or while transporting a child. Additionally, the bill revises the definition of Class C2 felony offenses to include a broader range of crimes, and it repeals several previous amendments to the DUI statute to consolidate and clarify the law.
