Bill > SB1542

This bill updates Oklahoma law regarding stalking, making it a Class B6 felony offense and clarifying its definition. It specifically amends existing statutes to include stalking as a Class B6 offense and modifies the penalties associated with stalking, with increased prison terms and fines for repeat offenses and more severe circumstances, such as violations of restraining orders or prior violent convictions. A significant addition is the authorization for law enforcement and certain other entities, like employers tracking company vehicles, to use GPS or other monitoring devices for tracking individuals without their consent, though this does not apply to lawful actions after a motor vehicle default with owner consent. The bill also repeals an older version of the stalking statute and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
