Clearer sentencing records and defendant safeguards

Beginning January 1, 2026, felony judgments must list the law, relevant subsections, felony level, minimum time to serve, and offense date. Courts must tell juries the law's required minimum time to serve as a percentage when that requirement applies. When a county judgment omits the felony level, Oklahoma's Department of Corrections must use the lowest possible level for that offense. When it omits the minimum time to serve, the department must use the lowest possible amount for that offense.

Narrower felony listing for child prostitution

Beginning January 1, 2026, offering or securing a child under 18 for prostitution remains a Class A3 offense. Transporting or helping transport a child for that purpose leaves the Class A3 list. The supplied text does not identify the replacement classification or establish a lower sentence for that conduct.

Two offenses leave specific felony lists

Beginning January 1, 2026, solicitation of certain computer crimes leaves the Class C1 offense list. The removal covers conduct listed in paragraph 10 of Section 1953(A) of Title 21. Theft of anhydrous equipment under Section 11-10(B) of Title 2 also leaves the Class C2 list. The supplied text does not identify replacement classifications or establish lower sentences for either offense.

Felony classification changes for dogfighting

Beginning January 1, 2026, several dogfighting acts fall under Class B5. These include starting or encouraging fights, providing a place or equipment, helping fights, and keeping a dog to fight. The law also removes dogfighting entries from another offense list, including keeping or training a dog to fight. That removal does not repeal the underlying crimes. The supplied provisions do not give a Class B5 sentence range.

Felony penalties for dangerous police chases

Beginning January 1, 2026, endangering someone while trying to escape a peace officer is a Class C1 felony. So is causing a crash with great bodily injury while escaping or trying to escape an officer. The standard Class C1 sentence is up to 8 years in prison. At least 25% must be served before release, including release to electronic monitoring. Prior convictions can bring longer sentences and higher minimum time-served requirements.
