Department of Public Safety; requiring Department establish and maintain pursuit alert system; effective date.
HB 1155 requires Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety to create a real-time alert system that notifies drivers via phone text or app alerts and highway message boards when active police pursuits are occurring nearby. The system must only activate when a pursuit poses a public safety risk, providing clear details like the suspect vehicle's make, model, color, location, and direction while minimizing driver distraction. It mandates collaboration with mobile carriers and limits alerts to a defined radius around the pursuit, with automatic deactivation once the threat ends. This law directly affects drivers receiving alerts and law enforcement agencies confirming pursuits, aiming to enhance public safety during high-speed chases.
