HB 1363 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; bail enforcer breaking and entering; effective date.

HB 1363 makes it illegal for licensed bail enforcers to break into a home to capture a defendant, except when they have direct, verified knowledge (like seeing the defendant or getting confirmation from an occupant) that the defendant is inside and refuses to surrender after a reasonable request. The bill specifies that bail enforcers must meet strict evidence standards before entering, and violations would be prosecuted as first-degree burglary. Homeowners retain the right to defend their property and seek compensation for damage caused by a bail enforcer's unauthorized entry.
