Senate Bill No. 862 establishes the role of government personnel and agencies during emergencies and disasters in Oklahoma, emphasizing their duty to assist residents while prohibiting any actions that infringe upon constitutional rights. The bill explicitly states that government officials cannot compel residents to receive medical treatments, wear masks (with exceptions for first responders), or impose restrictions based on vaccination status. It also prohibits any unconstitutional laws or regulations that were not in place prior to the emergency, including limitations on free speech, assembly, and Second Amendment rights, as well as restrictions on travel.

Violations of these provisions by government officials will result in felony charges, with penalties including imprisonment for up to five years, fines up to $50,000, and additional consequences such as removal from office and prohibition from future public office. The bill aims to protect individual rights during emergencies and ensure that government actions remain within constitutional boundaries. It is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
