More crimes labeled Class B5 felonies

Beginning January 1, 2026, many listed crimes count as Class B5 felonies. Examples include some repeat domestic assaults, assaults on police, stalking, gang recruitment, animal fighting, and certain sex‑offender‑registration violations. People convicted of those crimes face the penalties set for Class B5 under state law.

New crimes for secret filming and peeping

Starting November 1, 2026, hiding or loitering near homes, locker rooms, dressing rooms, or restrooms to secretly watch someone is a crime. The first offense is a misdemeanor with up to 1 year in county jail and/or a fine up to $5,000; a second offense is a Class B5 felony with up to 5 years and/or a $5,000 fine. Secretly using cameras or other devices to view someone in a private place, or publishing those images, is a Class B5 felony. Secretly taking an image of a person’s private area without consent is a misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class B5 felony for a repeat offense or when it targets three or more victims. “Private area” means the genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or any portion of the female areola, whether naked or undergarment‑clad.

Harsher sentences for repeat Class D1 crimes

The law sets a maximum of 5 years in prison for a Class D1 conviction and requires at least 20% of the sentence be served before release. With one or two prior Class C or D convictions, the sentence range for a new D1 crime is 1 to 7 years, with at least 20% served. With three or more Class C/D priors, or any Class Y/A/B prior, the range is 2 to 10 years, with at least 30% served. Section 51.1 does not apply to Class D1 crimes unless an exemption in subsection E applies. Fines for D1 offenses stay the same as set in the specific offense law.

Sex offender registry adds privacy offenses

Effective November 1, 2026, the sex offender registry covers certain Section 1171 crimes tied to clandestine camera/voyeurism and repeat or multi‑victim private‑area image offenses. Anyone living, working, or studying in Oklahoma with a conviction for those crimes after November 1, 1989 must register. The law also repeals a 2024 change to Section 582, so agencies and affected people must follow the updated registry list effective November 1, 2026.
