The bill specifically targets serious crimes such as murder, terrorism, domestic abuse, child abuse, human trafficking, and drug-related offenses, among others. It introduces classifications such as Class Y felonies for first-degree murder, Class A3 felonies for terrorism, and Class D1 felonies for various other offenses, including the unlawful possession of firearms and violations related to controlled substances. The amendments aim to create a clearer legal framework, increase penalties for offenders, and enhance public safety.
In addition to addressing violent crimes, the bill also focuses on financial crimes, environmental violations, and offenses related to consumer protection.

The bill emphasizes the importance of compliance with regulations and introduces stricter penalties for repeat offenders. Overall, the legislation represents a comprehensive effort to strengthen Oklahoma's criminal justice system by elevating the classification of numerous offenses, ensuring that individuals who commit these crimes face significant legal repercussions. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, following its passage in the House of Representatives on March 13, 2025.
