The bill amends Section 852.1 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to child endangerment. It clarifies the circumstances under which a person commits child endangerment, specifically by adding that a person is guilty if they are the driver or in physical control of a vehicle while impaired and transporting a child. The bill also maintains that it is an affirmative defense if the individual had a reasonable fear that intervening would cause substantial harm to themselves or the child. Additionally, it reaffirms that the provisions do not apply to those who rely on spiritual means or prayer for a child's treatment.

The penalties for violating this section remain severe, with a conviction resulting in a felony charge that could lead to imprisonment for up to four years, a fine of up to $5,000, or both. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
