House Bill No. 4108, introduced by Ford, amends Section 1792 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes to expand the definition of "critical infrastructure facility" to include airports. The bill establishes that willful trespassing on airport property, as well as other critical infrastructure, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of at least $1,000 or up to six months in jail. If the trespasser intends to damage or disrupt operations, the offense escalates to a Class D3 felony, with penalties including fines of at least $10,000 and potential imprisonment.

Additionally, the bill outlines severe penalties for individuals who damage or tamper with equipment at critical infrastructure facilities, including airports, with fines reaching up to $100,000 and imprisonment for up to ten years. Organizations found to conspire in such activities face fines ten times greater than the individual penalties. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
