House Bill No. 2622 amends existing nuisance laws in Oklahoma by expanding the definition of public nuisance to include the repeated use of real property or structures for unlawful drug distribution, prostitution, and human and/or sex trafficking. The bill specifies that such activities shall constitute a public nuisance, replacing previous language that only addressed actions resulting in felony convictions under the Oklahoma Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act.
The bill aims to strengthen the legal framework for addressing properties associated with these unlawful activities, thereby enhancing community safety and welfare. It is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives on May 22, 2025.
