HB 3349 updates Oklahoma's legal definitions and penalties for human trafficking. It clarifies terms like "coercion" (including passport confiscation or controlling a person's access to substances) and "human trafficking for labor or commercial sex," defining specific acts like recruiting minors for prostitution. The bill increases penalties to a Class A2 felony with mandatory 85% prison time served (not less than 5 years for adults, 15 years for minors), requires restitution to victims, and bans probation for trafficking convictions. It directly affects traffickers, victims (especially minors), and courts handling these cases, while establishing that victims' consent or lack of knowledge about a victim's age cannot be used as defenses. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
