This bill amends Section 1350.6 of Title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the actions of bail enforcers regarding breaking and entering. The legislation makes it unlawful for bail enforcers to forcibly enter a dwelling to recover a defendant, with specific methods of unlawful entry outlined. However, it provides exceptions for licensed bail enforcers during active recovery attempts under certain conditions, such as having first-hand knowledge of the defendant's presence in the dwelling and their refusal to surrender. Notably, the bill removes the term "felony" from the conditions under which these exceptions apply.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the exceptions do not limit the rights of other individuals within or outside the dwelling to respond to or defend against forced entry, including the use of firearms as permitted by law. It also states that individuals defending their property will not be liable for injuries caused to a bail enforcer attempting forced entry, and property owners may seek damages for any harm caused by such actions. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
