Crimes and punishments; creating the Child Trafficking Protection Act of 2025; increasing penalties for certain unlawful act; effective date.

HB 1320 creates Oklahoma's "Child Trafficking Protection Act of 2025" by amending statutes to define human trafficking more broadly and significantly increase penalties. It specifically targets trafficking for commercial sex or labor, with harsher punishments: 5+ years to life for standard cases, and 15+ years to life without parole for offenses involving victims under 18. Key provisions include requiring offenders to pay victim restitution, mandating 85% of sentences be served before parole eligibility, and eliminating defenses based on victim consent or ignorance of a minor's age. The law directly affects traffickers and those exploiting victims, particularly minors, with stricter criminal consequences.
