Bill overview
This bill amends Oklahoma’s Laser Safety Act to increase penalties for offenses related to the use of lasers. Specifically, it raises fines and potential imprisonment for individuals who maliciously project lasers at law enforcement officers or aim lasers at aircraft. Repeat offenses carry significantly harsher penalties, including felony charges and longer prison sentences. The bill also clarifies definitions and outlines exceptions for authorized use of lasers in research, development, or emergency signaling.
