Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 1 mixed.
Narrower government immunity for riot damages
Beginning November 1, 2026, government immunity is narrower for losses from civil disobedience, riots, insurrection, or rebellion. If the state or a city knew of a dangerous condition and chose or set policy to allow such events, victims can sue for damages. In other situations, immunity still applies.
Felonies for weapons or masks in riots
Beginning November 1, 2026, carrying a gun or other deadly weapon during a riot is a Class B3 felony. A conviction brings at least two years in prison and up to the Class B3 maximum. Wearing a mask or disguise to hide your identity during a riot and committing any felony is a Class D3 felony. Punishment can include fines, jail, or both as set in law.
Felony for blocking roads in riots
Beginning November 1, 2026, blocking a public street or highway during a riot is a Class D3 felony. This includes standing near or approaching vehicles, stopping traffic, or making travel unsafe. You can be fined $100 to $5,000, jailed, or both. You must also pay for all injuries or property damage you cause. Obstruct means making passage impassable or unreasonably inconvenient or hazardous.
Felony for property damage in riots
Beginning November 1, 2026, willfully damaging or defacing a building or office during a riot is a felony. If damage is under $1,000, it is a Class D3 felony. If damage is over $1,000, it is a Class D1 felony. Sentences follow the penalties set in law for those classes.
Felony for resisting laws in riots
Beginning November 1, 2026, joining a riot to resist a law or to block an officer from a legal duty is a Class B3 felony. A conviction carries at least two years in prison and up to the Class B3 maximum.
Tougher penalties for riot violence
Beginning November 1, 2026, Oklahoma sets tougher penalties for violence during riots. If a murder, maiming, robbery, rape, or arson happens during a riot you joined, you face a Class A1 felony and punishment like the person who did it. Directing or encouraging others to use force or violence in a riot is a Class B1 felony, with at least two years and up to twenty years in prison. Assault and battery during a riot is a Class D2 felony, up to two years. Aggravated assault and battery during a riot is a Class B1 felony, up to ten years.
Changes start November 1, 2026
All changes in this act start November 1, 2026. New crimes, penalties, and the immunity rule take effect on that date.
