HB 1724, the "Prevention of Maternal Harm Act of 2025," criminalizes administering abortion-inducing drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol) without a pregnant person's knowledge or consent. It imposes prison sentences of 5-10 years (or 10-20 years if pregnancy exceeds 3 months) and fines of $10,000-$75,000 (or $50,000-$100,000 for later gestation). The bill also adds mifepristone and misoprostol to Oklahoma’s Schedule IV controlled substances, requiring prescriptions and strict handling. This directly affects healthcare providers who administer these drugs without consent, with penalties applying regardless of other charges like murder. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
