Human trafficking; directing private businesses and public schools to post certain signage at specific locations; codification; effective date.
HB 1368 creates a "No Trafficking" safety zone around all public and private elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools in Oklahoma, prohibiting human trafficking activities within 1,000 feet of these locations. It defines key terms like "coercion" and "human trafficking" (including labor and commercial sex trafficking), and adds a 10-year sentence enhancement for trafficking convictions within the school zones. The bill requires schools to post specific signage about these zones and mandates the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control to include trafficking information in driver education. This law directly affects schools (through signage requirements), traffickers (facing harsher penalties), and victims (with protections like consent not being a defense).
