Unconstitutional actions in Oklahoma; creating the Ethan Haim Act; providing for unlawful actions. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 571, the "Ethan Haim Act," prohibits federal agents or entities from engaging in actions within Oklahoma that infringe on constitutional rights (such as free speech, gun rights, or due process) or exceed federal authority. It declares such actions unlawful, imposing penalties including $35,000 per day fines for individuals, $500,000 per day for entities, deportation for federal agents, and civil liability for harmed residents. The law allows Oklahomans to sue for damages and authorizes the Attorney General to enforce penalties, while explicitly exempting actions authorized by the U.S. Constitution and upheld by courts. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and is declared an emergency.
