Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Aggravated impaired driving brings felony penalties

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma makes DUI a felony when a listed aggravating condition applies. Conditions include an alcohol level of at least 0.15 at testing, causing a reported vehicle incident, or specified traffic violations. Eluding an officer, reckless driving, and carrying a passenger under 18 also qualify. Speeding qualifies at more than 20 mph over the limit, or 10 mph over in an active school zone. Added penalties include at least one year of supervision and periodic testing, with testing paid for by the defendant. Drivers must also use an ignition interlock for at least 180 days. The first conviction requires at least 10 days of confinement that cannot be suspended, deferred, or replaced with probation. Those days can be served at night or on weekends. The second conviction requires at least 30 days in county jail, including when the remaining sentence is suspended or deferred. Each later conviction increases the required confinement by 30 days.

Impaired-driving rules cover more private roads

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma's impaired-driving law covers private roads, streets, alleys, and lanes that provide access to homes. It covers driving, operating, or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle in those places. A qualifying alcohol or Schedule I drug test no longer must happen within two hours after arrest. These changes expand where and when drivers can face DUI charges.

Repeat impaired drivers face tougher sentences

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma sets higher sentencing tiers for repeat impaired-driving offenses. The third tier requires 240 community-service hours, 1–10 years in prison, and a fine up to $5,000. The next tier, following two prior felony DUI convictions, requires 480 service hours and 1–20 years in prison. Its fine is also up to $5,000. That tier also requires at least 90 days with an ignition interlock, which checks alcohol before the vehicle starts. It requires at least one year of supervision and periodic testing, with testing paid for by the defendant. A new violation counts within 10 years after the prior sentence or deferred judgment ends. Qualifying prior offenses include specified Oklahoma and out-of-state offenses and DUI convictions from municipal courts of record.
