HB 3316, the Higher Education Activities Response (HEAR) Act, requires Oklahoma public colleges and universities to conduct security threat assessments for all institution-sponsored on-campus events. Institutions must submit detailed event requests 30 days in advance, including maps, attendance estimates, and fire/police coordination, to a local law enforcement tactical team. The team then provides a security assessment within two weeks, detailing crowd control, evacuation routes, and required security personnel, which the institution must follow. Failure to comply results in fines paid into a new "Higher Education Activities Response Revolving Fund," used by the Attorney General to investigate violations and support survivors of violent campus incidents. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
