This bill amends Oklahoma's laws regarding the unlawful use of bombs and explosive devices, specifically updating the definitions and elements of certain crimes. Key changes include the insertion of language that criminalizes not only the act of placing explosive devices but also conspiring to do so. Additionally, the bill removes the requirement of "unlawful intent" and "intent" in certain contexts, broadening the scope of offenses related to the use of explosives and incendiary devices. The definitions of terms such as "explosive," "incendiary device," and "simulated bomb" are also clarified and expanded to ensure comprehensive coverage of various dangerous materials and devices.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the term "incendiary device" now includes items like "Molotov cocktails" and outlines the components that constitute such devices. It also emphasizes that the law does not apply to juvenile mischief involving harmless items like stink bombs. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026, allowing for a transition period before the new regulations take effect.
