Bill > HB3316

This bill, known as the Higher Education Activities Response (HEAR) Act, mandates that public institutions of higher education in Oklahoma must conduct security threat assessments for institution-sponsored on-campus events and provide trained security personnel based on those assessments. Institutions are required to request these assessments from a "tactical threat assessment team," which refers to state or local law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction, at least 30 days before an event, providing details about the event, venue, expected attendance, and confirmation of awareness from fire and police authorities. The tactical threat assessment team will then complete the assessment, outlining security plans including crowd control, evacuation, and necessary security personnel, and the institution must cover all associated costs. These assessments are confidential and exempt from public records requests, but a briefing based on the assessment must be provided to event security at least 24 hours before and on the day of the event. Failure to comply with the assessment or its requirements will result in a fine imposed by the Office of the Attorney General, with collected fines going into a "Higher Education Activities Response Revolving Fund" used for investigating violations and supporting survivors of traumatic events at campus events.
