Bill > SB1755

This bill provides immunity from civil liability for religious organizations and their security personnel in Oklahoma, meaning they cannot be sued for damages, death, or injury caused by the security personnel's actions or omissions. This immunity applies even if the security personnel intentionally caused harm or used a firearm, as long as they were acting within the scope of their employment or volunteer duties to provide security for the religious organization. A "religious organization" is broadly defined to include various faith-based entities, including those recognized by the IRS for tax-exempt purposes, and "security personnel" encompasses both hired and volunteer individuals tasked with providing security. This new law will take effect on November 1, 2026.
