HB 3266 amends Oklahoma law to expand the definition of Class D2 felony offenses, adding 22 specific violations including reckless driving that causes a collision (Section 11-901, item 10). It also includes multiple abortion-related offenses such as performing abortions after the first trimester, violating pain-awareness laws, and conducting abortions on minors without consent (items 11-19). The bill specifies penalties: Class D2 felons face up to 2 years in prison (with 20% mandatory service), increasing to 5-10 years for repeat offenders. It exempts certain offenses (like abortion violations) from these penalties, instead applying existing statutes. This bill directly affects individuals convicted of these specific offenses under Oklahoma Statutes.
SB 1709 amends Oklahoma's Class D2 criminal offenses to include 12 abortion-related violations, such as performing an abortion without a license, after the first trimester, or on an unemancipated minor. The bill specifies that these abortion offenses will be punished under their original statutes (not standard Class D2 penalties), while other Class D2 offenses (like escape or assault) follow standard sentencing. It repeals Section 1289.18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which previously referenced the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971 - a reference now deemed inconsistent. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026, and directly affects individuals convicted of these specific abortion-related crimes. Note: Despite its title referencing firearms, the bill’s content is solely about abortion criminalization.
SJR 34 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit most abortions in Oklahoma by defining "abortion" as intentionally terminating an unborn person's life from conception. It requires healthcare providers to attempt live births when a medical condition threatens the mother's life, making every reasonable effort to preserve both lives. Violating this prohibition would be classified as first-degree murder, and the amendment grants criminal immunity to providers who meet the reasonable effort standard, while allowing civil lawsuits with $10,000+ per violation and attorney fees. The amendment explicitly excludes contraceptive use before pregnancy detection and permits medical procedures for live birth, ectopic pregnancy care, or miscarriage management.
SB 2054 creates Oklahoma's "Mother and Child Protection Act," which prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or provision of abortion-inducing drugs in the state (defined to include drugs like mifepristone used for medication abortion). The law allows private citizens - not the state - to file lawsuits (via "qui tam" actions) against violators, with exceptions for medical emergencies (e.g., life-threatening conditions, ectopic pregnancy, or miscarriage-related cases). It specifically exempts drugs prescribed for non-abortion medical purposes (like chemotherapy) and does not apply to actions taken under federal law. This bill directly affects healthcare providers, pharmacies, and anyone distributing such drugs in Oklahoma.
SB 2012 removes a restriction that previously limited prosecution for abortions performed in medical emergencies. The bill maintains Oklahoma's core rule that abortions are only permitted to save a pregnant woman's life in a medical emergency, with violations punishable by up to $100,000 in fines or 10 years in prison. It specifically removes the phrase "notwithstanding any other provision of law" from the prohibition section, clarifying that medical providers can be prosecuted for unauthorized abortions even in emergency contexts. The bill also explicitly states it does not criminalize pregnant women for outcomes related to their pregnancy or affect access to contraceptives. The emergency clause ensures immediate implementation upon passage.
HB 3038, titled the "Abolition of Abortion Act," reclassifies abortion as homicide under Oklahoma law, making it a criminal offense punishable by the same legal standards applied to harm against born individuals. It directly affects pregnant people, healthcare providers performing abortions, and families seeking wrongful death claims related to abortions. Key provisions include removing existing exceptions allowing abortion, requiring documented informed consent, and amending wrongful death laws to permit lawsuits when abortions occur under specific circumstances like coercion, lack of consent, or medical negligence. Exceptions cover life-saving procedures for the mother (with reasonable efforts to save the fetus) and spontaneous miscarriages.
SB 1657 prohibits manufacturing, distributing, or providing abortion-inducing drugs (like mifepristone or misoprostol) in Oklahoma, except for specific medical uses such as treating ectopic pregnancies, life-threatening conditions, or miscarriages. It exempts hospitals, state facilities, and healthcare providers acting within certain medical exceptions. The law can only be enforced through private lawsuits (qui tam actions) filed by citizens, not by state authorities or prosecutors. This directly affects healthcare providers, pharmacies, and anyone handling these drugs in Oklahoma, with strict limits on permitted uses.
HB 3194 protects Oklahoma pregnancy centers from state mandates requiring them to provide abortion services, contraception, or referrals. The bill prohibits state agencies from forcing centers to offer abortion-inducing drugs, post promotional materials for abortion, restrict services based on their pro-life stance, or interfere with their staffing decisions. It also allows centers to sue for triple damages (minimum $10,000) if state agencies violate these provisions. The law directly affects pregnancy centers - both general and medical - and state agencies that might attempt to impose such requirements. It focuses on preventing government compulsion, not restricting abortion access.
HB 3592 prohibits Oklahoma Medicaid (SoonerCare) funds from covering abortions at facilities primarily engaged in abortion services, except in two specific cases: pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, or when a woman faces a life-threatening physical condition caused by the pregnancy (as certified by a physician). This bill directly affects Medicaid recipients seeking abortions outside these exceptions and healthcare providers receiving Medicaid payments for abortion services. Key provisions define "abortion" per existing law and block Medicaid funding for non-exempt abortion care, effective November 1, 2026. The policy change restricts Medicaid coverage for abortions with narrow medical and legal exceptions.
HB 2945, the "Protecting Moms and Babies Act," prohibits manufacturing, distributing, mailing, transporting, prescribing, or providing abortion-inducing drugs in Oklahoma, with specific exceptions for medical treatments like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. It allows only private citizens (via "qui tam" lawsuits) to enforce the ban, not state officials, and explicitly prohibits lawsuits against pregnant women seeking abortion or common carriers transporting patients (if unaware of intent). The law defines "abortion-inducing drugs" to include medications like Mifeprex and misoprostol, excluding use for non-abortion medical purposes. Key exceptions permit the drug's use solely to preserve a mother's life, treat ectopic pregnancy, or address miscarriage-related complications.
