The bill amends Section 1111 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the definition and scope of rape. The amendments expand the circumstances under which sexual intercourse is classified as rape, particularly focusing on the age and status of the victim. Notably, the bill introduces new legal language that includes "contractor" and "subcontractor" in the context of individuals who may engage in sexual intercourse with students under certain conditions, specifically when the victim is between the ages of sixteen and twenty and is under the supervision of a school system.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of an "employee of an institution of higher education" to include various roles such as faculty and contractors, while explicitly excluding enrolled students who are close in age to the victim. The changes aim to enhance protections for vulnerable populations, particularly minors and students, against sexual exploitation. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
