Crimes and punishments; expanding scope of certain unlawful acts; effective date.
HB 1306 expands criminal penalties for adults who encourage minors to join criminal street gangs or foreign terrorist organizations. It makes such actions a felony punishable by up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine for first offenses, with longer sentences for repeat violations. The bill defines "criminal street gangs" by listing 18 specific crimes (like robbery, drug trafficking, or assault) and classifies membership in such groups as a felony. It directly affects adults who recruit minors into gangs or terrorist organizations, and also treats members of foreign terrorist organizations as public nuisances under Section 1191. The law modifies existing Oklahoma statutes to strengthen penalties for gang-related activities involving minors.
