This bill establishes a new law in Oklahoma that makes it unlawful to commit assault, battery, or assault and battery against security officers, private investigators, or bail enforcers with the intent to cause bodily harm. Upon conviction, individuals found guilty of such acts 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 also defines the terms "security officer," "private investigator," and "bail enforcer," specifying the requirements for their identification and lawful performance of duties at the time of the incident.

The new law will be codified as Section 650.12 of Title 21 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025. The definitions provided in the bill clarify the roles and identification of the individuals protected under this law, ensuring that those engaged in security-related professions are afforded legal protection against violent acts while performing their duties.
