Drivers Who Run Down Rioters Will Not Be Prosecuted Under Oklahoma Law
On 4/23/21 at 9:19 AM EDT
Oklahoma has adopted a new law that cracks down on what it deems as rioters while protecting drivers who injure or kill them.
After being passed by the Oklahoma House of Representatives last month and the state s Senate last week, House Bill (HB) 1674 was signed into law by Republican Governor Kevin Stitt on Wednesday. It is set to take effect from November 1.
HB 1674 exonerates motorists who unintentionally wound or kill someone if they were fleeing from a riot, providing the driver exercised due care and believed it necessary to protect themselves from serious injury or death.
House of Representatives committee assignments and schedules for the 58
th Oklahoma Legislature were made and announced Friday.
The House will operate with 30 standing committees and 10 appropriations and budget subcommittees for the two-year session beginning next month.
