House Bill No. 2312 amends Section 322 of Title 3 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to critical infrastructure facilities and the operation of unmanned aircraft over these sites. The bill removes the exception that previously allowed operators of unmanned aircraft to conduct commercial operations over critical infrastructure if authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration. It also adds a new provision that allows the owner or occupant of the property where the critical infrastructure facility is located, or someone with their prior written consent, to operate unmanned aircraft over the facility.

The bill defines "critical infrastructure facility" to include various types of facilities such as refineries, power plants, and telecommunications infrastructure, and establishes restrictions on operating unmanned aircraft within a certain proximity to these facilities. Violations of this section may result in civil liability for damages to the facility, including harm to property, the environment, or human health. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
