This bill establishes new regulations regarding the operation and maintenance of outdoor warning sirens in Oklahoma. It defines key terms such as "authorized person" and "outdoor warning siren," and makes it unlawful for individuals to activate or tamper with these sirens without proper authorization. Violations of this law can result in misdemeanor charges, with penalties including fines up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to one year. If unauthorized activation leads to a false emergency response or public panic, the offense escalates to a felony, carrying fines up to $5,000 and potential imprisonment for up to five years.

Additionally, the bill outlines exemptions for employees, agents, or contractors of governmental entities acting within their official duties, as well as individuals conducting routine testing or maintenance under proper supervision. The new law will be codified as Section 1796 of Title 21 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
