The bill amends Section 15 of Chapter 366 of the Oklahoma Statutes to establish a new classification of felony offenses known as Class D2, which will take effect on or after January 1, 2026. This classification includes various offenses such as attempting to escape from a penitentiary, aggravated assault on a medical care provider, and unlawful boarding or refusal to exit a school bus. The bill also updates statutory references and language throughout the section, ensuring clarity and consistency in the law. Notably, it introduces penalties for these offenses, with individuals convicted of Class D2 felonies facing imprisonment of up to two years, while those with prior convictions may face longer sentences.

Additionally, the bill creates a new law that specifically addresses the act of boarding a school bus without authorization or refusing to exit upon command, categorizing it as a Class D2 felony. The penalties for this offense align with those outlined in the amended Section 20O. The bill also clarifies that certain offenses listed in the new Class D2 category will be exempt from specific penalty provisions, ensuring that individuals convicted of these offenses are punished according to the corresponding penalties in existing Oklahoma statutes. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
