Crimes and punishment; Class A3 and B3 offenses; assault and battery; modifying certain definition; repealers. Effective date.
SB 1264 consolidates and updates Oklahoma's assault and battery statutes by repealing outdated references to prior amendments of Section 644 of Title 21. It removes four previous versions of the statute (amended by Chapters 147, 162, 322, and 486 of the 2025 Oklahoma Statutes) to streamline the current legal language. The bill directly affects courts, law enforcement, and legal practitioners who apply these statutes in criminal cases. It makes no substantive changes to offense definitions or penalties but ensures all references to assault and battery provisions are current and consistent.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a House version to a Senate version, reorganizing the list of criminal offenses into a single consolidated description rather than separate sections. The substantive policy content, including the specific crimes and effective dates, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was updated to reflect Senate floor proceedings, including a new date and author attribution format.
The detailed list of criminal offenses was condensed into a single paragraph describing the amendments to existing statutes, replacing the previous itemized list.
