HB 1364 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Crimes and punishments; sexual obscenity; making certain acts unlawful; effective date.

HB 1364 amends Oklahoma law regarding sexual obscenity to create new offenses. It prohibits the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images and defines and criminalizes the nonconsensual dissemination of "artificially generated sexual depictions," which are visual depictions created substantially by artificial intelligence or photo editing software that appear to show an individual in a sexual state that did not occur in reality. These acts are unlawful if done without the depicted person's consent, especially if intended to cause harm. Penalties for violations range from a misdemeanor to a felony, with increased punishments for repeat offenses, financial gain, or the dissemination of multiple images. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
