House Bill No. 1362, introduced by Hardin and Worthen, amends existing laws regarding unlawful immigration in Oklahoma. The bill redefines the term "alien" and establishes that any person unlawfully present in the United States who is arrested for violating a criminal law will be guilty of a felony, punishable by a minimum of five years in prison. Additionally, the bill allows for the posting of a cash bond of at least $35,000 for individuals arrested under this section. It also provides the court with the authority to dismiss criminal prosecutions and issue orders for individuals to return to their country of origin under specific conditions.

The legislation further mandates that the Department of Corrections notify the U.S. Customs and Border Protection within seven days of receiving custody of an individual for repatriation arrangements. It emphasizes that any municipality or political subdivision cannot adopt conflicting regulations regarding the presence of unauthorized individuals in the state. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
