The bill amends the Laser Safety Act in Oklahoma, specifically updating Section 1992 to increase penalties for individuals who maliciously project lasers at law enforcement officers or aircraft. The amendments include a change in the classification of offenses from misdemeanors to felonies for repeat offenders, with fines and imprisonment terms significantly increased. For instance, the fine for projecting a laser at a law enforcement officer has been raised from a maximum of $100 to $500, while a second offense can lead to a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to two years. Similarly, aiming a laser at an aircraft now carries a maximum fine of $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for subsequent offenses, with imprisonment terms extended to five years.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "laser" and "law enforcement officer" and specifies exceptions for authorized individuals conducting research or emergency signaling. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public safety by imposing stricter penalties for dangerous laser-related activities.
