Crimes and punishments; expanding scope of certain offense related to rape. Effective date.
SB 630 expands Oklahoma's legal definition of rape to include new scenarios involving vulnerable individuals. It specifically makes it rape when a person under 20 engages in sexual intercourse with a school employee (including contractors) while a student at an elementary, secondary, or vocational school. The bill also adds rape charges for sexual acts between a foster youth (19 or younger) and a foster parent or applicant, or between a victim in state custody and a foster parent or agency employee. These changes directly affect minors and individuals under legal custody or supervision who interact with authority figures in educational or care settings. The law becomes effective November 1, 2025.
