SB 54 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; modifying scope and sentencing provisions for certain offenses. Effective date.

SB 54 modifies Oklahoma's driving under the influence (DUI) law to expand what constitutes a violation, including driving under the influence of any controlled substance (like marijuana) or combined alcohol and drugs, and applies the law to private roads accessing homes. It creates tiered penalties: first offenses are misdemeanors (up to 1 year jail, $1,000 fine), while repeat offenses become felonies with escalating sentences (1-5 years for second offenses, up to 20 years for fourth offenses). Key provisions require mandatory substance abuse evaluations, treatment at the defendant's expense, ignition interlock devices for 30-90 days, and community service for repeat offenders. The bill directly affects anyone convicted of DUI/DWI, particularly those with prior convictions, by increasing penalties and adding treatment and device requirements.
