This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 650.12 of Title 21, which makes it unlawful to commit assault, battery, or assault and battery against security officers, private investigators, or bail enforcers without justifiable cause and with the intent to cause bodily harm. Upon conviction, offenders will face misdemeanor charges, which may result in imprisonment for up to one year, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. The bill clearly defines the terms "security officer," "private investigator," and "bail enforcer," outlining the requirements for each to be recognized as such during the lawful performance of their duties.

The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025. It aims to enhance the protection of individuals in these roles by imposing penalties for violent acts committed against them while they are performing their professional responsibilities.
