HB 1309 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Capital punishment; staying the execution of judgments in all death penalty cases; emergency.

HB 1309 pauses all executions in Oklahoma for individuals sentenced to death until the Legislature acts further. It prohibits the Court of Criminal Appeals from ordering executions, setting new execution dates, or allowing existing dates to proceed, and cancels all current execution dates. The bill suspends all Oklahoma statutes governing death penalty executions, though it does not overturn the death sentences themselves. This emergency measure takes immediate effect upon approval and remains in place until the Legislature repeals it.
