HB 1362 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Crimes and punishments; unlawful immigration; making certain acts unlawful; penalties; emergency.

HB 1362 criminalizes non-citizens entering Oklahoma without legal U.S. authorization, directly affecting individuals lacking valid immigration status. It classifies first offenses as misdemeanors (up to 1 year jail or $500 fine) and second offenses or those occurring during other crimes as felonies (up to 2 years jail or $1,000 fine), requiring convicted individuals to leave Oklahoma within 72 hours. The bill mandates a $35,000 cash bond for arrest, prohibits probation for violations, and allows dismissal only if the person agrees to return to their home country and meets specific conditions (no violent felony history, not charged with another felony). It also preemptively blocks local governments from enacting conflicting immigration policies and lists defenses like DACA approval (2012-2021) or federal asylum status.
